THERMAL GRADIENT SYSTEM, Panlab (CAT#: STEM-LEAR-1267-YJL)

THERMAL GRADIENT SYSTEM, model STEM-LEAR-1267-YJL is manufactured by Panlab
The Thermal Gradient Test has been described in Moqrich et al. 2005, and is one of the very few thermal nociception tests to be operator independent on freely moving rodents (mice and rat). A continuous temperature gradient (-4 to 65°C) is established over a 120 cm long base plate, on which the animal is free to walk. After the exploration period the rodent (mouse or rat) shows a distinct zone preference, or comfort zone.
Two instruments models will test independently and simultaneously 2 mice or small rats (1 adult rat).
This allows the operator to replay and check the animal behaviour at any time and remotely, and also to comply with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).
