The "Mouse Feeder" is a high-capacity multi-feeder that allows for the measurement of food intake over several days and can accommodate multiple mice. Like conventional multi-feeders, it minimizes contamination from feces and urine as well as food spillage, enabling accurate measurement of food intake. Additionally, we offer both "PVC type" and "stainless steel type," with the "stainless steel type" being suitable for sterilization at high temperatures, such as in an autoclave. 【Features】 ■ The feeder compartment is divided into four sections to prevent mouse intrusion. ■ The feeding opening ranges from 15mm to 25mm, accommodating obese mice as well. ■ It can hold approximately 80 to 90g of food in powder form, eliminating the need for daily refills. ■ The stainless steel type is also compatible with sterilization at high temperatures, such as in an autoclave. *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.

The "Multi Feeder for Mice," with its unique design, minimizes the contamination of feces and urine and reduces the chances of feed being taken out of the cage. To prevent a decrease in the mice's intake, it allows for more accurate measurement of the feeding amount. Additionally, using our recommended Palmas sheet results in almost no contamination in the feeding box compared to bedding, making measurement much simpler. 【Features】 ■ Usable for solid feed, powder, and high-fat diets ■ Allows for more accurate measurement of feeding amount to prevent a decrease in mice's intake ■ Measurement is simpler when using the Palmas sheet *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our mouse feeding measurement device for respiratory metabolism, the 'MFD-RQ'. This product allows for simultaneous measurement of feeding and respiratory quotient using a combined mouse feeding measurement system for respiratory metabolism. By measuring with a single system, it is possible to minimize the experimental space required. Additionally, with optional features, you can also impose restrictions on water intake and feeding (both quantity and time). 【Features】 ■ Space-saving - By measuring feeding activity and respiratory quotient with a single system, experimental space can be minimized. ■ Accurate data acquisition - Comparing the relationship between feeding activity and respiratory quotient yields valuable data. *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our infrared activity sensor, the 'SFAS-100'. This product is a spontaneous movement sensor that detects emitted infrared radiation from animal body temperature. It employs a completely passive sensor with no physical output such as light, and quantifies the movement of animals within the chamber to measure activity levels. It is fixed above the chamber for use and can measure both mice and rats. 【Features】 ■ Infrared detection type based on animal body temperature ■ Utilizes a completely passive sensor with no physical output such as light ■ Capable of measuring both mice and rats ■ Connects to the interface via LAN cable *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our mouse activity measurement device, the 'ACTIMO-100N'. It allows for comparisons between cages (multiple housing) and individuals, counting animal movements by scanning infrared sensors (14×7) at 20mm intervals once every 0.5 seconds. The measurement range is 30cm×20cm, and it is compatible with transparent cages currently used by various manufacturers. We also offer the activity measurement device for rats, the 'ACTIMO-10N'. 【Features】 ■ Infrared beam sensor method ■ Allows for comparisons between cages (multiple housing) and individuals ■ Counts only when two light beams are interrupted continuously, so tail movements or movements of the nose near the sensor are not counted ■ Can measure up to 24 units simultaneously (optional up to 96 units) ■ Compatible with transparent cages currently used by various manufacturers *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.

The "RFD Series" is a simultaneous measurement system for rat feeding, drinking, and activity levels. It allows for the simultaneous measurement of three parameters: "feeding," "drinking," and "activity level," making it suitable for research on metabolic syndrome such as obesity and diabetes, as well as for measuring circadian rhythms and screening TG mice. The activity level measurement uses a beam sensor method that enables comparisons between individuals, while the drinking sensor can be selected from two types: a cost-effective and reliable drop-type sensor and a precision balance type that accurately measures drinking volume. 【Features】 ■ Simultaneous measurement of the three parameters: "feeding," "drinking," and "activity level" ■ The uniquely shaped feeding area includes a feeder box with a step on the side of the cage, making it difficult for rats to enter the feeder box or bring food into their living space ■ The activity level measurement employs a beam sensor method that allows for comparisons between individuals *For more details, please refer to the external link page or feel free to contact us.

Our company offers the "Double Activity Monitor System," which measures movement within living spaces using infrared beam sensors and active movement with a rotating cage, combining these two types of measurements. Movement within living spaces encompasses both basic life movements such as eating and drinking behaviors, as well as instinctive movements. By adding the rotating cage, instinctive movements are satisfied by the rotating cage. 【Features】 ■ 3 counts per rotation with a voltage-free contact output ■ The rotating cage section is mesh, reducing adaptation time ■ The rotating cage section is designed considering the moment of inertia ■ It is an open-type rotating cage, allowing experiments even with cannulas for intraventricular administration, etc. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
