Mouse Activity Wheel for Physiological Research Instrumentation

The Mouse Activity Wheel is a complete mouse living chamber with a voluntary running wheel designed for long-term activity monitoring studies. It is suitable for applications including circadian rhythm research, cardiovascular and pulmonary pharmacology, general activity studies and other behavioral research. The chamber provides food and water support with free access to the activity wheel. It features a clear polycarbonate cage, stainless steel components and a lightweight anodized aluminum wheel designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. The wheel operates with very low friction, while the removable sensor/counter allows convenient maintenance and complete chamber cleaning. The complete chamber can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Manufactured by Atico Export for reliable performance in long-term rodent activity and behavioral research.
