Rota Rod
Introducing the ROTA ROD, a state-of-the-art apparatus designed for evaluating motor coordination, balance, and endurance in laboratory animals, particularly rodents. This advanced equipment is widely used in neuroscience research, pharmacology studies, and preclinical assessments to measure the effects of drugs, genetic modifications, and neurological conditions on motor function and locomotion.
The ROTA ROD features a rotating rod or treadmill-like platform with adjustable speed settings, allowing researchers to customize the level of challenge for animals during motor performance tasks. Animals, typically mice or rats, are placed on the rotating rod, and their ability to maintain balance and coordination while walking or running is assessed.
The apparatus includes safety features such as shock-absorbing barriers, non-slip surfaces, and automatic shut-off mechanisms to prevent injury to animals and ensure experimental consistency. It also offers precise data recording and analysis capabilities, allowing researchers to track parameters such as latency to fall, running time, distance traveled, and gait patterns.
The ROTA ROD is an essential tool for studying motor disorders, neurological diseases, and the effects of therapeutic interventions on motor function. It enables researchers to quantify motor performance, assess coordination deficits, and evaluate the efficacy of potential treatments or interventions in preclinical models.
With its advanced design, safety features, and reliable performance, the ROTA ROD provides researchers with a valuable tool for investigating motor behavior and locomotor function in animal models, contributing to advancements in neuroscience, pharmacology, and biomedical research.
