Rotameter

for evaluating rotation behaviour in rodents

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Key Features
Rotational behaviour has proved a popular
technique for screening the behavioural
effects of a wide variety of lesions, drugs,
Cylinder or Bowl transparent containers
and other experimental manipulations on the Rotation sensor with adjustable TTL output
brain of rodents. This test is widely carried signal
out in experiments using animal models of
Parkinson disease with unilateral lesions in the Configuring experiment duration and time
intervals of counting
dopaminergic nigrostriatal system.
Basically, the subject wears an adjustable Counting the number of partial and complete
harness with a soft ring connected to the left and right turns
rotation sensor by a flexible tie. The subject

is then placed into a transparent container

(cylinder or bowl) with a lateral support for a
vertical stand.
New optional Data Transfer software
SeDaCom 2.0 (RS232/USB comunication)
A bi-directional rotation sensor provides
a double (right and left turns) output with
adjustable regulation of pulses/turns (between
4 and 36 pulses per complete turn). APPLICATIONS
Two configurations are available for rotation
counting: individual counter or a multicounter. Sensorimotor And Coordination - Parkinson Disease

SENSOR & HARNESS
New harness design!
ROTATION SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS
The Panlab harness is now provided with a
4 to 36 fraction of a circumference new design making easier its fixation and
Fraction of turn
(adjustable) providing more comfortable conditions
for the animals during the measurement.

ROTATION COUNTERS
Individual counter
The individual double counter LE902CC counts the number of partial and complete Left and Right turns
depending of the adjustements made on the rotation sensors.

Multicounter with SeDaCom software

The Multicounter LE3806 registers simultaneous counting from up to 15 rotameters.
It provides the number of partial and complete Left and Right turns depending of the
adjustements made on the rotation sensors. The unit is programmable, allowing the
user to set the experiment duration and time intervals of measurement.
The system can be associated to the SeDaCom software for an easy exportation of
data through RS232(USB) port in a format compatible with Excel. The SeDaCom
software and RS232/USB converter should be ordered separately.

NEW SEDACOM version 2.0!

A very easy, convenient and cost-saving Data Transfer Software! The SeDaCom 2.0 version provides an
ideal environment for visualizing the registered data on a computer and exporting them in a format that
simplifies any further post-analysis processes.
