Behavior. Neuroscience. Stimulation.

Smart I/O is an enhanced version of the Panlab SMART 3.0 video-tracking for the combined evaluation of behavior with the neural recording and stimulation (electrical and optogenetics).

The importance of the use of video recording and video tracking tools is signifi cant in this context for ensuring a reliable assessment of behavior in neuroscience research.

• Combine the evaluation of behavior with the evaluation of neural recording and stimulation(electrical and optogenetics).
• Use multidisciplinary approach for a better understanding of the brain functions and their intrinsic mechanisms.

Integrated stimulation protocol editor

• Integrated feedback loop between behavior and stimulation.
• Stimulus input/output interface through the Panlab I/O interface (2 stimulation channels, Pulse TTL ON/OFF signal or Pulse Train)
• Stimulation can be automatically triggered depending on user-defi ned conditions: zone entry/exit, time delay,manual key pressing, etc.

Benefits

• SAVE TIME: Save Time Focus your time effort on your research, don’t waste it with complex tools. SMART I/O is a user-friendly solutions for video recording and automated behavior assessment in small laboratory animals.
• REFINE YOUR STUDIES: Refi ne your behavioral studies using multidisciplinary approaches. SMART I/O provides all the essential functions for combining behavior with electrical and optogenetics stimulations.
• ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY: Enhance the productivity of your experiments with the SMART I/O boosted platform, multiple arenas and multiple camera options. More data,less time.

Provided data

• Summary tables directly exportable to Excel and providing calculation for each user-defined zones and/or time intervals.
• Wide variety of standard calculations related to tracking: time/distance/entries in zones, average speed... 
• Zone transition, global activity and events list reporting the time evolution of specific calculations and distribution of their occurrence.
• Track coordinates reports (X,Y,Z)
• Group evolution graphs and Track image exportation

Panlab features the new OxyletPro waste collection cage for mice. A more comprehensive approach to understanding the animal body mass phenotype by combining the assessment of respiratory metabolism with digestive efficiency through the analysis of collected urine and feces.

The OxyletPro waste collection configuration features:

• Top-level home cage section including refillable food and drink dispensers as well as a smooth grid floor and resting tube accessories for ensuring maximum animal comfort and minimize stress
• Low-level waste collection section with separating cone, collections funnel, urine ring and removable sampling tubes.
• Stainless-steel supporting stand for the chamber set up and optional chiller accessory
• IR bars set, activity logger and SEDACOM software for global activity and rearing assessment (optional).
• Compatible with Panlab indirect calorimetry control units, accessories, and software: gas analyser, air flow and switching unit, reference air chamber and METABOLISM software
• DSI implantable accessories for additional physiological data (optional)

Key Features:

• Fully validated technology for waste collection (Tecniplast)
• Special smooth floor and resting tube for minimizing stress
• Easy cleaning (Polycarbonate, stainless-steel material)
• Compatible with telemetry

OxyletPro’s full modular design allows for simple expandability. Configurations are available for home cage metabolism phenotyping with our Physiocage system and for cardiovascular studies with exercise physiology with our airtight treadmills.

Start with the configuration that meets your requirements today and expand as needs change and grow!

OxyletPro can be used in the following applications: obesity, diabetes, metabolic disorders, nutrition studies, drug screening, phenotyping and more!
