A paradigm originally developed in the 1970’s has matured with the introduction of Kinder Scientific’s Automated Forced Swim System. The Forced Swim paradigm is the most widely used tool for assessing antidepressant activity. The extensive use of this model is based in its ease of use,…

Powered by our MotorMonitor software, our Zero Maze is the first of its kind. This well performing maze contains 32 beam pairs to accurately locate the subject, detecting transitions from open to closed and time in each zone is assured. It also contains the full set of MotorMonitor measures…

The Kinder Scientific MotorMonitor System is an industry breakthrough, providing the possibility of multiple motor activity assays on a single system through the innovative Behavioral System Core. The Behavioral System Core is a completely new approach to behavioral automation; a single universal…

Our Plus Maze has higher resolution and specially created measures that enhance your ability to quantify anxiety. For example, with beams mounted on the edge of the open arms, we capture the animal hanging its head over the edge. Going out on the cliff is one thing, hanging over the edge of it is…

Exclusive Dual Output Programmable Foot Shock – Save lab space and precious equipment funds by acquiring the industry’s only two completely independent shockers in a single chas­sis! With two separate outputs, two separate set-points, and two separate initiate triggers, our dual…

The Kinder Scientific Rotometer collects rotational data for up to 40 stations. Each station can be started independently so that data collection begins at the appropriate time for each subject. Output data include clockwise, counter-clockwise, full turn, and quarter turn for all subjects and does…
