IDsorter for Mouse
Features
- Based on RFID-technology
- The IDsorter is based on RFID-technology. It allows the selective passage of a single animal to the test arena and back, while individual experiments can be conducted in the operant chamber with independent experimental control software.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology identifies and tracks an individual within a group of animals. All animals need to carry subcutaneous transponders. These transponders require no battery and are powered by the electro-magnetic fields emitted by the RFID-Readers.
- The IDsorter is based on RFID-technology. It allows the selective passage of a single animal to the test arena and back, while individual experiments can be conducted in the operant chamber with independent experimental control software.
- 24/7 operant experimentation and observation system
- Compatible with operant boxes or mazes from third party vendors
- Animal friendly gates with position detectors preventing accidental entrapment
- Reduced stress for the animals (no manual handling)
Applications
- Combining group living with testing arenas
- Fully automated 24/7 experimentation for individual operant procedures
- High-throughput phenotyping.
Mode of Operation
- An animal is detected at RFID-Reader 1. If the experimental protocol gives permission, gate 1 opens.
- The animal is detected at RFID-Reader 3. Gate 1 closes when it is safe for the animal. Gates 1 and 2 remain closed for 30s.
- After 30s, gate 2 opens. The animal can enter the operant compartment. Gate 2 can close if the animal is registered within the test arena or remain open.
- If the animal is detected at RFID-Reader 2 or 3 Gate 2 will close and Gate 1 open to release the animal to the group cage.
