The Grip Strength Meter measures forelimb grip-strength in rats. The effects drugs, toxins, muscle relaxants, disease, ageing or neural damage on muscle strength may be assessed.
The animal is placed over a base plate, in front of a grasping bar (either T-shaped or trapeze-shaped), whose height is adjustable. The bar is fitted to a force transducer connected to the Peak Amplifier.
When pulled by the tail, the animal grasps at the bar, rodents instinctively grab anything they can to try to stop this involuntary backward movement, until the pulling force overcomes their grip strength.
After the animal loses its grip on the grasping bar, the peak preamplifier automatically stores the peak pull-force achieved by the forelimbs and shows it on a liquid crystal display.
The Analogue Output on the Amplifier back panel allows for direct connection to the 17400 Data Capsule Acquisition System.

The Ugo Basile Activity Cage has proved to be of great value to record spontaneous co-ordinate activity in rats and mice (individuals or groups) and variation of this activity in time.
The 47420 MULTIPLE ACTIVITY CAGE package comprises an electronic unit 7441 and an I.R. Beam Cage, which consists of an Animal Cage of clear Perspex, 40x40cm, complete with two sets of emitter/sensor arrays for horizontal and vertical activity. This set-up can accept up to 5 additional cages, for a total of 6.
The Electronic Units incorporate a graphic display, a thermal printer, and a serial port RS232 for direct connection to the PC via the software Cat. 52050 included. A serial to USB adaptor is also included. The graphic display presents all available commands. The operator sets the experiment configuration via the keyboard located below the display.
