Animal Behavior and Physiology

Open Fields

High-contrast, anti-glare open-field arena for exploratory behavior and anxiety assessment in mice and rats. Non-reflective, textured surface optimized for video tracking; available in 44×44 cm (mouse) and 100×100 cm (rat) configurations; optional partition dividers. Also validated for Novel Object Recognition.

Elevated Plus Maze

Classic anxiety-assessment maze exploiting rodents' avoidance of elevated, open spaces. High-contrast, non-reflective grey surface; detachable closed-arm walls; metal leg support; rat (40142: 110 cm arms) and mouse (40143: 80 cm arms) versions, both elevated 60 cm from floor.

Elevated Zero-Maze

Circular anxiety assessment maze with gradual open-to-enclosed transitions — eliminates the ambiguous center zone of the EPM. High-contrast grey surface; 4 metal legs; rat (40162: 120 cm diameter) and mouse (40163: 60 cm diameter) versions, both elevated 60 cm. Optimized for video tracking.

Y-Maze

Three-arm maze for spontaneous alternation and spatial working memory testing. Non-reflective grey surface with detachable perspex walls; optional arm door; rat (40172: 50 cm arms) and mouse (40173: 35 cm arms). Compatible with ANY-maze for automated alternation scoring.

T-Maze

Classic T-shaped spatial memory and preference maze for mice and rats. Non-reflective grey perspex walls in slotted metal base; movable door creates start compartment; rat (40132: 90 cm long arm, 50 cm short arm) and mouse (40133: 65/35 cm) versions. Optimized for video tracking.

Circular Pools for Morris Water Maze

High-quality fiberglass circular pools for Morris Water Maze spatial learning and memory assessment. Low-weight, high-durability alimentary-grade construction; embedded wheels; simple drainage; diameters: 100 cm (mice), 120 cm, 150 cm, 180 cm (rats). Compatible with Atlantis automated platforms.

Atlantis Platform System

Automated hydraulic platform system for Morris Water Maze. Rises gently to near-surface or submerges on manual control or TTL signal — no electricity in water. 4 independent channels; 10 cm/sec platform travel; Cat. 40100 (1 platform) or Cat. 40400 (4 platforms). 80–240V controller.

Barnes Maze

Dry, non-aversive alternative to the water maze for spatial learning and memory. 20 equally spaced holes with magnetic shelter attachment; high-contrast grey surface; rat (40192: 130 cm Ø, 20 × 10 cm holes) and mouse (40193: 100 cm Ø, 20 × 5 cm holes) versions. Randomized-hole mouse version (40196) available.

Radial Maze 8-Arm

Eight-arm radial maze for working and reference memory assessment in rodents. Non-reflective grey surface; anti-slip textured floors; rat (40152: 50 cm arms) and mouse (40153: 36 cm arms) versions; central circular arena with 8 equally spaced radial arms. Optimized for video tracking.

Delta Maze

Custom T-maze modification with below-floor sliding doors for unobstructed viewing and tethered animal studies. Individual arm motors; TTL/USB or manual PC control; 85–264 VAC, 50–60 Hz; negligible sound; ideal for optogenetics, fiber photometry, and electrophysiology during spatial choice tasks.

Light/Dark Box

Anxiety assessment apparatus exploiting rodents' natural aversion to brightly lit, open spaces. Two-compartment design (dark/light); high-contrast surfaces; mouse (47442: 44×44 cm) and rat (47443: 50×100 cm) versions; optional opaque white walls (47442-W/47443-W). Compatible with ANY-maze.

Agora Maze – SocioBox Method

Five-chamber sociability apparatus for mice using the SocioBox method. Central arena (34 cm Ø) surrounded by 5 external stimulus chambers with perforated transparent dividers for odor exchange; magnetic quick-change attachment; grey anti-glare surface; 61×58×25 cm. Used in autism and social cognition research.
