Small Animal Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Measurement System

Manufacturer
Tucker-Davis Technologies
Model
RZ6
Instrument
Specifications
  • Composed of TDT's low-noise, wide-bandwidth, and powerful hardware, along with user-friendly software for ABR recording.
Measurement
Applications
  • Pharmacology Studies
  • Drug-induced hearing loss models
  • Early-onset hearing loss models
  • Age-related hearing loss models

This system is suitable for screening the auditory function of animals. ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) provides small amplitude signals with high reproducibility and is minimally affected by sleep depth or consciousness levels, making it widely used as a clinical diagnostic tool.

Respiratory Function Measurement system for Small Animals

Manufacturer
Data Science International
Model
FinePointe RC
Measurement
Applications

This is a mass spectrometer for biogas analysis that can measure the amount of oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide excreted in exhaled breath.
Direct assessment of lung function is possible by measuring flow rate and pressure.

Gait Analysis System

Manufacturer
Noldus Information Technology
Model
CatWalk XT
Measurement
Applications
  • Pharmacology Studies
  • Spinal cord injury model
  • Cerebral ischemia model
  • ALS model
  • Pain model
  • Muscular dystrophy model
  • Arthritis model
  • Parkinson's disease model

This system allows for analysis through natural walking. It is possible to detect with high sensitivity phenomena and symptoms that only occur during natural walking, and to numerically convert and quantify various walking parameters.

Electrophoresis Imaging System

Manufacturer
Cytiva
Model
Amersham ImageQuant 500
Instrument
Specifications
  • Image Sensor: Peltier-cooled, 8.3-megapixel CCD
  • Light Sources: UV epi-light (365 nm), blue epi-light (460 nm), white epi-light (470-635 nm)
Measurement
Applications

This is a gel imaging device (CCD imager) designed for Western blotting and gel analysis. By overlaying chemiluminescent samples with color markers, it allows for easy determination of molecular weights.

Protein Purification System

Manufacturer
Cytiva
Model
ÄKTA pure150L
Instrument
Specifications
  • Flow rate range: 0.01-150 mL/min
  • UV monitoring wavelength: Single wavelength (280 nm)
Measurement
Applications

This device enables automated protein purification and fractionation while detecting proteins by injecting cell culture supernatants or serum. At Mediford Corporation, it is primarily used for purifying produced polyclonal antibodies. The flow rate and tubing are optimized for columns with an inner diameter of 10–50 mm.
