SAITO'S INCLINED PLATE TESTER FOR MICE


Developed under the kind advice of Dr. H. Saito, Professor Emeritus,  The University of Tokyo

MK-370 Inclined Plate Tester has been designed to assess fore- and hindlimb muscle strength of mice. The animal is placed on the inclined plate with reverse V-shaped black acrylic wall stand located 30cm high from the floor position. The plate is inclined at a given angle speed starting from the horizontal position and stopped at the position where the animal falls from the plate, and the angle is displayed on the LCD and printed out at the same time. The angle is displayed by 0.1 degree steps. The speed is continuously adjustable.

Using the DCS-370 Data Collection Software (Windows Version) the data obtained can be exported to a personal computer and stored as a CSV file.
