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.
Muscle Properties Measurement System for Small Animals

Measures strength, length and other muscle properties of all muscles in small animals. Supports a wide range of muscle types, enabling compound screening, phenotypic evaluation, and model comparison.
