Features of the LT:
Zantiks units are increasingly popular with labs worldwide. All the different types of unit are built along the same principles, enabling high throughput and easy-to-run experiments. The benefits of choosing Zantiks are that each unit.
The Zantiks LT unit is designed to measure the behaviour of rodents and fish. Similar in functionality to the AD unit, but double the size, the LT unit is suited to studies with rodents and larger fish, such as guppies.
The Zantiks LT unit is suitable for:
•Tracking rodents / fish in experimental environments (e.g., open field, Y-maze, Conditioned place preference).
•Training rodents and fish with food reward in operant tasks such as discrimination, 5-choice, match to sample.
•Tracking multiple animals singly-housed in individual arenas.
