小鼠平放式計數滾輪 (飛輪) Low-Profile Wireless Running Wheel for Mouse

The current trend of housing mouse colonies in individually ventilated cages (IVCs) has allowed for dramatic increases in housing density, improved environmental control, and better biosecurity. However, the low profile configuration of many mouse IVCs has made it more difficult to add enrichment devices, such as a running wheel, to the mouse home cage.

Our wireless low-profile mouse running wheel (ENV-047) represents a state-of-the-art device that enables quantitative measurements of mouse running levels in most standard “shoebox” style IVCs. We use the popular Fast Trac™ 100% PETE plastic running wheel surface from BioServ^® along with our proprietary wireless transmitter to get running data from the home cage to a computer.

• Measure circadian rhythms while adding environmental enrichment
• Wheel revolves on a bearing-mounted pin creating less friction and wear with smoother operation for the life of the wheel
• Quantify running levels and how they correlate with behavioral changes
• Fits easily into most standard ventilated rack cages for mouse
• Open running surface enables wheel running studies with instrumented or tethered mice
• Each hub monitors up to 40 wheels
  • four hubs per computer
• Energy efficient and nearly maintenance-free
  • powered by three AAA batteries, must be purchased separately
• Affordable and economical
• Easy to clean:
  • wash wheel surface and plastic support base (not autoclavable)
  • wipe wheel transmitter with sanitation cloths (not autoclavable)
• Each wheel set to one of eight available addresses
• Wheel can also be locked for use as a control
