Precision in Pain Sensitivity MeasurementThe Analgesiometer provides accurate and repeatable results for pain threshold studies in small laboratory animals. Its digital thermostat allows precise thermal control, enabling researchers to conduct consistent and reliable experiments. The robust mild steel construction with an epoxy powder-coated surface ensures the instruments longevity and convenience in a laboratory environment.
Safe and Reliable Laboratory UseDesigned with safety as a paramount concern, this device includes overload protection and a thermal fuse. It operates smoothly on 220 volts, which is standard in most hospital and research labs in India. The stainless steel plate facilitates easy cleaning, promoting a hygienic working environment when handling laboratory animals.
FAQs of Analgesiometer:
Q: How is the Analgesiometer used in laboratory experiments?
A: The Analgesiometer is used to measure pain sensitivity or threshold in laboratory rats and mice. Typically, a controlled and measured stimulus, such as heat via the stainless steel plate, is applied to the animals paw or tail. The time taken for the animal to respond (for example, by withdrawing the paw) is recorded, aiding in pain research and analgesic drug testing.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this instrument?
A: This Analgesiometer offers precision pain sensitivity measurement, reliability through digital thermostat control, easy maintenance due to its stainless steel plate, and a robust mild steel body with epoxy powder coating for durability. Safety features such as overload protection and a thermal fuse further enhance its utility and reliability in research settings.
Q: Where should the Analgesiometer be installed for optimal performance?
A: The Analgesiometer is intended for use in hospital or laboratory research environments, typically placed on a stable laboratory bench near a power supply. The area should be free from vibration and extreme temperature fluctuations to ensure accurate results and safe handling of laboratory animals.
Q: What safety measures are incorporated in the Analgesiometer design?
A: Safety is ensured through built-in overload protection and a thermal fuse, which protect both the user and the equipment from electrical faults or overheating. The stainless steel plate is also easy to sterilize, supporting routine hygienic practices.
Q: What is the process for measuring pain sensitivity with this device?
A: To measure pain sensitivity, an animal (rat or mouse) is gently placed on the heated stainless steel plate, and the digital thermostat is set to a desired temperature. The researcher records the latency time from the start of exposure to the first pain response (such as paw withdrawal), ensuring repeatability across tests and subjects.
Q: When is the Analgesiometer most often used in research?
A: The Analgesiometer is commonly used during preclinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of analgesic or pain-relief compounds. It is also employed in neurobiological research to study nociceptive pathways in small animals, often at stages when new compounds or interventions need objective pain threshold assessments.
