Rotarod Treadmill one unit for mice and rats
Manufacturer: IITC Life Science
Description
The IITC Life Science Rotarod Treadmill is a motor coordination assessment device designed for use with both mice and rats. It operates on a treadmill principle, where animals must maintain their balance on rotating, textured drums to avoid falling. Each drum is equipped with an individual sensing platform that detects when an animal descends, allowing for precise measurement of latency to fall. This instrument is commonly utilized in pharmacological and neurological research to evaluate the impact of various compounds on motor performance, balance, and muscular endurance. Its design facilitates the study of fatigue resistance and the potential motor-impairing or therapeutic effects of drugs within preclinical models.
