Mouse Misstep Wheel with Filter Lid for Physiological Research Instrumentation

The Mouse Misstep Wheel with Filter Lid is designed for mouse activity and motor skill studies where a microbiological barrier filter is required. The system combines a configurable activity wheel with a clear polycarbonate living chamber, food and water support, and free access to the activity wheel. Each of the 38 wheel rungs can be individually removed to create different rung patterns and complex running configurations. The removable lightweight anodized aluminum wheel operates with very low friction and can be easily cleaned and maintained. A removable stainless steel vented access hatch provides convenient animal access, while the complete chamber can be disassembled for cleaning. The system is manufactured by Atico Export for reliable performance in rodent activity, motor skill and behavioral research.
