| SCANET Behavioral Analysis System by Infrared Beam Sensors | |
| Spontaneous locomotor activity, Depression, Drug dependence, Anxiety, Learning & memory （Measuring modes: Move／AQ／LD／OF／OR／SI／DT／TW／DM／DD／DR） |
|
 can analyze behavior in mice and rats by densely arranged infrared beam sonsors. You can evaluate antidepressants, anxiolytics, learning and memory and dependence by several modes of SCANET with specific cages. SCANET 40 series can change all models and modes by one PC program (SCL-40) different from the previous series. Three models, MV, SV, and CV according to a size of sensor frames are same as the previous series. Data can be simultaneously got from 12 channels at a maximum via TCP/IP communication. Trajectory is also available at 12 channels. "DT (Distance)" and "Double" modes have been newly arrived. |

| Outer size (incl. side plates) | MV-40 ca. 560(W) x 560(D) x 330(H) SV-40 ca. 560(W) x 380(D) x 330(H) CV-40 ca. 290(W) x 400(D) x 180(H) |
| Weight | ca. 5～7 kg (incl. 2 sensor frames) |
| Component | Base body, Position sensor unit, Rearing sensor unit* |

| *Rearing sensor unit is an opstion but must be required in "AQ" and "Double" modes and to measure a number of rearing behavior. In a "Double" mode, 2 sensor units are seperately used in different channels. You can measure locomotion in 2 channels with 1 device. Specific sensor cables and a base frame fixing sensor frames must be needed. |
