The practice of housing mouse colonies in individually ventilated cages (IVCs) has led to significant increases in housing density, better environmental control, and enhanced biosecurity. However, the low-profile design of many IVCs makes it challenging to incorporate enrichment devices like running wheels into the mouse home cage. Our wireless low-profile mouse running wheel offers a cutting-edge solution that allows for precise measurement of mouse running activity in most standard IVCs. By using a specially designed running wheel surface along with our wireless transmitter, we can transmit running data from the home cage to a computer without the need for any wires or cables.
MazeEngineers empowers preclinical neuroscience research with meticulously designed, customizable behavioral apparatuses. From manual classic mazes to fully automated smart systems, we provide the tools scientists need to capture high-quality, reproducible data for studies on learning, memory, anxiety, and depression.
This system is engineered to analyze and record circadian rhythms, general activity, and locomotion, while simultaneously providing essential environmental enrichment for research subjects. It is suitable for both freely moving animals and those that are instrumented or tethered.
Running Activity Analysis: Enables precise measurement of running exercise to study its correlation with behavioral changes.
Sensor Technology: Utilizes a sensor-based system for wheel revolution analysis.
Cage Compatibility: Its design allows for easy and seamless integration into most standard ventilated mouse rack cages.
Scalability: Each module is capable of tracking the activity of up to 16 wheels simultaneously. Four modules can connect to a single computer for large-scale monitoring.
Operational Efficiency: This is a cost-effective and economical piece of equipment, featuring an energy-efficient design that makes it nearly maintenance-free. It is powered by three included AAA batteries.
Simple Cleaning: The design facilitates hygiene, as the wheel surface easily disconnects from the plastic support base for cleaning.
