MODEL MK-725

LOW-COST MULTI-CHANNEL RUNNING WHEEL SYSTEM FOR MICE
 

MK-725/04 ( 4ch System )

MK-725 Low-Cost Multi-Channel Running Wheel System is designed to measure spontaneous activity levels of mice accurately and is suitable for a quantitative measurement over a long period of time. The plastic wheel is equipped with a sensor which detects the revolving of the wheel.  The wheel is located in a home cage and mice can freely access to the wheel. A fully automatic measurement can be done using a CompACT AMS Ver.3 Data Collection Software. The system can be configured from 4ch ( minimum ) up to 64ch ( maximum ).

    NOTE: A personal computer is required to run the system, but not included in the system price.
 

CompACT AMS Ver. 3 DATA COLLECTION SOFTWARE

Pulse data sent out from running wheels will be collected and stored into Data Interface and sent to a personal computer for data analysis. Since all the measurements can be controlled by the Data Interface, a personal computer can be used even for another application once the measurement gets started.
 

MAIN FEATURES

 ■ All the channels can be started at the same time.
 ■ Each channel can be started separately.
 ■ Multiple channels can be started by the group.
    (Up to 32 groups can be registered.)
 ■ Sampling time can be preset for the range of 1 - 60 min.
 ■ Designated multiple data files can be saved as a CSV file.
 ■ Light-Dark cycle can be controlled at the user's discretion.
 ■ Timer-Start & Timer-Stop function enables a fully automatic
     measurement.
 ■ Data Interface is available in four ( 4 ) models ( 8ch, 16ch,
     32ch and 64ch ) depending upon user's application and budget.
