Tail Flick Testing
An easy-to-use instrument that determines pain sensitivity accurately and reproducibly.


Product Description
The system uses a heat stimulus lamp and records the time for the subject to flick or withdraw in response. By measuring this sensory response, the system offers a reliable method for evaluating pain perception, thermal pain thresholds, and the effectiveness of analgesic treatments. It is an essential tool for researchers studying pain sensitivity, analgesia, and the impact of drugs on the nervous system.
