MARTA Pad

MARTA Pad is a novel monitoring system that prevents malpractice and animal suffering in research. It operates remotely through fur without any electrodes. and start real time monitoring instantly. Vital signs such as heart and respiration rate are continuously monitored, and animals’ temperature is regulated during all steps of your animal studies.

Two-photon imaging of the mouse’s brain is one of the main applications for the Mobile HomeCage. The imaging stability during active locomotion is excellent: 1.2- to 1.5-micrometer maximal measured displacement.

Mobile HomeCage

The Mobile HomeCage® is a combination of a stable head fixation with a large airlifted arena for 2D navigation. Suited for integrating imaging, electrophysiological recordings, and other high-precision tests with complex behavioral experiments. And allows mapping place cells during imaging and recording in awake head-fixed mice.
