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 AD unit is suitable for:
•Tracking fish in experimental environments (e.g. startle, pre-pulse inhibition 'PPI', novel open field, Y-maze, Conditioned Place Preference 'CPP').
•Training fish and mice (with food reward) in operant tasks, such as discrimination reversal learning, 5-choice serial time task, or match to sample.
•Tracking multiple singly housed fish like Pavlovian avoidance learning (mild electric shock) or CPP.
