• This is an all Solid State instrument for monitoring spontaneous & induced Ambulatory activity of laboratory animals.
• Provided in a powder coated sturdy body with bakelite meters & superior quality design.

An actophotometer, also known as an activity cage, is a device used to measure the activity or movement of organisms, particularly small animals, in a controlled environment. Its primary uses include:

Activity Measurement:

• Quantifying the locomotor activity of animals, providing data on their movement patterns and behavior over time.

Circadian Rhythm Studies:

• Studying the circadian rhythm and daily activity cycles of organisms, offering insights into their physiological and behavioral patterns.

Pharmacological Research:

• Assessing the effects of drugs or experimental treatments on the activity levels of test subjects, aiding in pharmacological and behavioral research.

Neuroscience Studies:

• Investigating the impact of neurological conditions or interventions on the activity of animals, contributing to neuroscience and neuropharmacology research.

Toxicology Assessments:

• Evaluating the effects of toxins or environmental factors on the activity and behavior of organisms, particularly in toxicity studies.

Research in Ethology and Physiology:

• Conducting studies on animal behavior and physiology, providing valuable information for ethological and physiological research.
