MODEL MK-380M

SAITO'S GRIP STRENGTH METER FOR MICE


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

MK-380S has been designed to test a grip strength of mice. The animal is placed on the metal mesh and its tail was pulled with a hand in a horizontal direction till it can no longer take hold of the metal mesh. More stable measurement can be performed compared to the iron bar traction method.

Display and all of the controls are arranged on the front slope panel for easy access. Using the Data Collection Software DCS-GSM (Windows Version) the data obtained can be transferred to a personal computer and stored as a CSV file.
