SmartFrame Cage Rack
System |
|
The SmartFrame
Cage Rack System has been designed with advanced features and
ease-of-use as the primary objective. Frames come standard with a two
dimensional 4 x 8 beam grid for optimum coverage, not just a few beams
in only one dimension. And its high resolution comes at no extra cost!
The SmartFrame tracks motor activity extremely well for
both rat and mouse applications and can serve as a very cost effective
Open Field System for mice. It uses the Windows NT/2000 compatible
MotorMonitor software, providing greater flexibility in
analyzing data. The advanced diagnostics use an exclusive 4-level test
which runs automatically before each session. Named the
SmartFrame because of its onboard intelligent circuits, it
dramatically enhances validation and diagnostic efforts. Each
SmartFrame station operates through a single cable from the
station to the control chassis, regardless of beam configuration or
options. This makes for an exceptionally clean connection setup and
eliminates the "rats nest" of cables. |

SmartFrame High
Density Cage Rack System |
|
The
SmartFrame High Density Cage Rack System has been designed with
the same advanced features and ease-of-use as our standard Cage Rack
System. Frames come standard with a two-dimensional 7 x 15 beam grid
for greater resolution; specifically engineered to capture mouse
fine-motor activity in an open-field task. The SmartFrame
tracks motor activity extremely well for both rat and mouse
applications and is ideal for paradigms such as place preference for
mice. It uses the Windows NT/2000 compatible MotorMonitor
software common to our activity line, providing greater flexibility in
analyzing data. The
advanced diagnostics use an exclusive 4-level
test which runs automatically before each session. Named the
SmartFrame because of its onboard intelligent circuits, it
dramatically enhances validation and diagnostic efforts. Each
SmartFrame station operates through a single cable from the
station to the control chassis, regardless of beam configuration or
options. This makes for an exceptionally clean connection setup and
eliminates the "rats nest" of cables. |
