New Touchscreen\Rota Rod

Panlab’s Rota Rod provides an easy way to test the effects of drugs, brain damage, or diseases on motor coordination or fatigue resistance in rodents.

The animal is placed in one of the rotating lanes of the Rota Road and the timer is started. Latency to fall (minutes and seconds) and rotational speed are automatically recorded. The rotation can be electronically set at a constant speed of 4-40 rpm or alternatively an accelerating rate may be selected at a defined time (30 secs to 10 minutes in 1 sec increments). Acquired data is saved in table form by lanes/trials.

The new touchscreen graphic user interface allows for clear visualization of timing and speed for each lane. Change modes, adjust speed, and create protocols right from the main screen for greater flexibility with maximum functionality and usability.
