Catalepsy Bar Test

Описание: 🔬 Understanding Catalepsy Bar Test and Introducing Our XR-XJ306 Mouse Catalepsy Bar System

Catalepsy bar test is a widely used behavioral assessment to evaluate catalepsy symptoms in animal models. Catalepsy refers to a motor dysfunction characterized by the inability to correct externally imposed postures, resulting in a rigid or “frozen” state. This test primarily measures motor coordination and motor impairment by observing how long rodents maintain a specific posture on a bar.

💊 Catalepsy can be induced by various pharmacological agents, including dopamine antagonists, dopamine synthesis and storage inhibitors, opioid receptor agonists, cholinergic agonists, adenosine receptor agonists, and glutamatergic antagonists. This test is crucial in behavioral research involving antipsychotic drugs, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and cannabis exposure. Rodent catalepsy tests, especially those disrupting dopaminergic transmission, are widely used to screen potential Parkinson’s disease therapies.

✨ We are excited to introduce our XR-XJ306 Mouse Catalepsy Bar System, designed for precise and efficient assessment of cataleptic behavior in rodents:

🐭 Supports simultaneous testing of up to 4 mice

⚙️ Adjustable pedal height to accommodate mice of varying weights

⏱️ Automatic timing stops when the mouse’s forelimbs leave the bar, eliminating manual intervention

🖥️ Intuitive 5-inch touchscreen controller made of durable metal

🔍 Transparent acrylic catalepsy bar enclosure for clear observation

💾 Data export via USB for easy analysis

🔌 Operates on low voltage (5V) power supply

📊 Allows grouping of animals to facilitate organized data management

📈 Measures key parameters including start time, end time, and total catalepsy duration

Our system offers reliable, high-throughput, and user-friendly solutions for researchers studying motor disorders and evaluating drug efficacy in preclinical models.
