Actuators and Sensors
MiceTracking™ actuators and sensors are autonomous devices specifically designed for medical and behavioral research as well as animal health monitoring. The programmable actuators stimulate mice and provide rewards. The sensors measure and transmit various environmental data from inside the cage, as well as data on the animals' activity and behavior. These innovations offer greater flexibility in your tests and open new possibilities for conducting your scientific experiments.

MiceTracking Actuators and Sensors
Integrated directly into cages, MiceTracking™ actuators and sensors provide precise control over your tests and experiments. By programming stimuli and rewards, you can manage the interactive environment of your mice, benefiting from greater flexibility and new opportunities in conducting your scientific studies.
- Continuous 24/7 monitoring of animal health and welfare
- Wide range of sensor data (health, activity, weight tracking, etc.)
- Automated programming of actuator sequences for Stimuli/Rewards
- 100% flexible customization of your tests: complete freedom in product placement within cages

How Do Our Actuators and Sensors Work?
01.
Installation
Place your sensors and actuators in the cages as desired to customize your tests; they connect directly to the Matrix.
02.
Sequence Programming
Program Stimuli/Reward sequences for the Actuators on SoftLab using a wide range of conditions.
03.
Data and Interaction
Sensors collect data and transmit it to the Matrix. The devices automatically interact with your animals according to your sequences.
04.
Observation on SoftLab
Monitor your experiments in real-time and download sequence data from SoftLab.
