About Actophoto meter

Actophotometer

Actophotometer (Activity cage):

It consist of six built in photo senser and 4 digit digital counter to indicate the locomotor activity. It measures the spontaneous and indicated activity with digital totalizer. It also incorporates electric shock of upto 100 volts for activating rats. The stimulus is variable from 0 to 100V & indicating on meter.

High-Precision Activity Monitoring

Equipped with an array of infrared beam sensors, the Actophoto Meter provides accurate and non-intrusive measurement of locomotor activity, ensuring reliability in behavioral studies. With a sensitivity of one activity count, it is suitable for detailed research applications.

Designed for Laboratory Versatility

Compatible with mice, rats, and guinea pigs, the device can monitor up to five animals simultaneously. Its durable, powder-coated steel body and acrylic lid ensure ease of observation while maintaining a dust-free internal environment ideal for sensitive laboratory use.

Flexible Operation and Data Management

Users may select between continuous or timed monitoring modes using the digital control panel. Results are displayed on a clear LCD display and can be exported directly to a PC via the RS232 port, streamlining data recording and analysis processes.

FAQ's of Actophoto meter:

Q: How does the Actophoto Meter detect animal activity?

A: The Actophoto Meter uses a grid of infrared beam sensors to monitor any disruption caused by animal movement within the cage. Each interruption of the infrared beams by the animal is automatically counted as a locomotor activity event with high precision.

Q: What animal types are suitable for monitoring in this device?

A: The device is specifically designed to accommodate mice, rats, and guinea pigs, allowing for simultaneous activity monitoring of up to five animals, making it flexible for various experimental setups.

Q: When should I use continuous versus timed operation modes?

A: Continuous mode is ideal for long-term activity assessments, while the timed mode, adjustable from 0 to 60 minutes, is suited for experiments requiring controlled observation periods. The operation mode can be easily selected using the digital control panel.

Q: Where can I access and analyze the recorded activity data?

A: Activity data is displayed in real-time on the digital LCD screen and can be exported directly to a connected PC via the RS232 port, allowing for ease of data management and further analysis.

Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the equipment?

A: The Actophoto Meter is designed for maintenance-free operation but should be kept in a dust-protected laboratory environment. The acrylic lid and aluminum grid can be wiped with suitable laboratory cleaning agents to maintain transparency and hygiene.

Q: How does using this Actophoto Meter benefit laboratory research?

A: It facilitates accurate, non-invasive monitoring of animal locomotion, minimizes human error, and enhances data reliability, thus streamlining the behavioral research process and improving experimental outcomes.
