An audible buzzer signals test completion, and built-in over-temperature protection upholds laboratory safety standards, minimizing the risk of overheating during prolonged operation.
Robust Construction and Versatile DesignConstructed with a mild steel body and powder-coated finish for added durability, the Analgesiometer accommodates humidity up to 85% RH. Compact yet sturdy, it is suitable for research environments, being widely utilized by exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers dealing with experimental pharmacology and drug screening.
FAQs of ConXport Analgesiometer (Eddys Hot Plate):
Q: How does the ConXport Analgesiometer measure pain threshold in rodents?
A: The Analgesiometer assesses pain threshold by recording the reaction time of mice or rats placed on the stainless steel hot plate surface as its temperature rises, with an accurate digital timer tracking the time until the animal responds to the heat stimulus.
Q: What is the primary application of this instrument in laboratory research?
A: This device is used to evaluate the analgesic (pain-relieving) effects of drugs in laboratory animals, playing an essential role in pharmacological screening and pain response studies.
Q: When should researchers use the Analgesiometer during drug testing protocols?
A: The instrument should be used after the administration of experimental drugs to rodents, allowing for the assessment of pain threshold changes as an indicator of analgesic efficacy at specific time points post-treatment.
Q: Where is the ConXport Analgesiometer commonly installed and used?
A: It is typically found in research laboratories involved in biomedical, pharmacological, and veterinary studies, particularly within universities, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions in India and abroad.
Q: What is the process for conducting a test using this device?
A: The user manually starts the digital timer, places the rodent on the pre-heated plate, and observes the reaction. Once the animal exhibits a pain response (like paw licking), the timer is stopped via the front panel keypad, with time displayed on the LED screen and an alarm sounding to signal the end of the test.
Q: How does the built-in safety mechanism enhance operation?
A: Over-temperature protection prevents the heating surface from exceeding the set temperature limit, and the buzzer alert ensures users are promptly informed when a test ends, thus ensuring safe and efficient experiments.
Q: What are the operational benefits of its microprocessor-based control and digital interface?
A: The microprocessor enhances timer accuracy, while the digital keypad and LED display yield convenient test setup and clear result readings, improving workflow and reliability for laboratory staff performing pain threshold assays.
