The Comprehensive Lab Animal Monitoring System allows for 24-hour, automated, non-invasive collection of several physiological and behavioral parameters.

Columbus Instruments treadmills are state-of-the-art systems engineered for automated, non-invasive monitoring of laboratory animal activity, delivering precise and reliable data for physiology and behavior research.

Temperature and Light Controlled Enclosures

The Columbus Instruments Mouse Home Cage Running Wheel measures spontaneous activity in a voluntary free-spinning running wheel. The wheel is constructed to fit universally into most typical "shoebox" style cages (cage is not included with the system). Each wheel has a magnetic indicator and a hall effect sensor that connects to a computer interface and records wheel revolutions at user-specified intervals. Windows software is included for installation on a customer supplied PC. Data can be viewed in real time and exported into a CSV format at the end of the experiment.

Allows measurement of lab animal recovery following brain or spinal cord injury

Strength meters are employed in assessing neuromuscular function by sensing the peak amount of force an animal applies in grasping specially designed pull bar assemblies.

A rapid and efficient instrument for the screening of analgesia levels in small laboratory animals.

The Columbus Instruments Mouse Home Cage Running Wheel measures spontaneous activity in a voluntary free-spinning running wheel.

A non-invasive blood pressure monitor that can monitor systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure precisely. One to eight rats or mice can be monitored.

Modular activity monitor for use with normal home cages with easy integration with other systems for feeding, drinking, and metabolic performance.

Automated animal activity meter for measuring locomotor activity, sterotypic movement, vertical movement, time in square, and animal path.

Measures changes in pressure produced by an unrestrained subject respiring within an enclosed space. The changes in pressure reflect the depth of respiration while the cyclic variations of the pressure signal over time reveal respiration frequency (breaths per minute)

Designed to accurately quantify the vertical component of motion associated with the startle reflex

A multi-station rotation monitoring system that records full and partial turning motion in small laboratory animals

Columbus Instruments' implementation of the classic rota-rod enhanced with features that assist monitoring and recording animal performance

Easy to use instrument for determining pain sensitivity accurately and reproducibly in rats and mice.

Uses a 20 microliter pump to deliver liquid to the sipper tube for volumetric drinking analysis
