Incapacitance Meter, mice & rats

Description

The Incapacitance Meter from IITC Life Science is an instrument for assessing pain and inflammation in the hind limbs of small laboratory animals, specifically mice and rats. It operates by measuring weight distribution between the two hind limbs; an animal experiencing discomfort in one limb will shift its weight to the unaffected limb. This objective measurement provides a quantifiable metric for researchers studying analgesic efficacy or inflammatory models. The device is designed to address limitations found in other behavioral pain assessment methods, offering a more consistent and reliable readout. It is a standard tool in preclinical pain research and pharmacological testing.
