Since then, our models have been cited in thousands of scientific papers. The name we coined soon became so popular, now everybody knows this devuce as RotaRod!
What's new in the NG model:
Physically similar to the previous versions, it offers the same reliability, matched with innovative technology! The new model features stainless-steel trip-boxes to facilitate cleaning and confine the animals when they fall off the rod.
The Rat Rota-Rod consists of four 6cm diam. cylinders, which are suitably machined to provide grip. Five 49cm diam. dividers make for four lanes, each 8.7cm wide, enabling four rats to be on the rotor simultaneously. The height to fall is 30cm.
A brand new, user friendly software, is included as standard; via the new software, the operator can easily organize the experiment on her/his PC, and upload it to the Rota-Rod via the USB key. The software automatically classifies the data, combining configuration settings with test results; the user can add information, before or after the test. Results appear in a tree-like structure, where columns can be dragged and dropped to customize the layout. Configurations and data are exported as Text, Excel or Pdf reports and can be saved to cloud via DropBox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive.
The experiment can be set and results can be monitored, also via the 4”3 touch-screen.
Remote diagnosis and internet access are provided.
