FAQs of ANALGESIOMETER:
Q: How does the Analgesiometer measure pain sensitivity in laboratory animals?
A: The device measures pain sensitivity by exposing the animals tail to infrared radiant heat and recording the time it takes for the tail flick reflex (Tail Flick Reaction Time). The precise latency is digitally displayed, helping evaluate the animals pain threshold.
Q: What safety features are included to protect animals during testing?
A: A dedicated cut-off timer is integrated to avoid excessive heat exposure, automatically stopping the test to prevent injury. The adjustable acrylic chamber also secures the animal comfortably while allowing easy observation.
Q: When should researchers use this Analgesiometer?
A: This instrument is best suited for pharmacological research, preclinical pain assessment, and drug efficacy studies involving pain threshold evaluations in mice and rats.
Q: Where can the Analgesiometer be used and who can operate it?
A: It is designed for laboratory environments and can be placed on a bench-top. Operators include researchers, technicians, and professionals working in biomedical research, provided they have basic training in animal handling and lab safety.
Q: What is the process for running a pain threshold test with this device?
A: First, the animal is placed in the adjustable acrylic holder. After adjusting the heating time, the infrared heat source is activated using the manual start switch. The LED display records the reaction time, and the test concludes automatically with the cut-off timer for safety.
Q: How does using this Analgesiometer benefit pharmacological research?
A: The device delivers highly reproducible and accurate measurements of pain sensitivity, enabling precise assessment of analgesic compounds and pain modulation interventions, which is crucial in pharmaceutical and biomedical studies.
