VivaMARS Mobile Activity Rack System

A new activity solution specially designed to address all the needs of high efficiency in CROs for neurotoxicology and neuropharmacology studies.

VivaMARS, a new mobile activity rack solution designed to increase the efficiency of your activity studies.

Mobile Activity Rack System

Mobile activity rack system for activity studies in small laboratory animals. The system includes software, interface hardware, photobeam sensors placed into mobile rack units with individual capacity for 10 animals per rack, and wheels for transport as needed across the facility.

Data Accuracy

Two-dimensional (x,y) activity measurement and precise IR sensor spacing for optimal resolution and reliability. Smaller infrared beam spacing creates higher data accuracy ensuring minor movements are captured within your data and no therapeutic effects or adverse events will be missed.

High Throughput

With the high throughput capacity of the VivaMARS mobile activity rack system (up to 30 subjects by session), increase your experimental capacity and complete more studies in less time!

Flexible

Modular, portable system design for both mice and rats. Easily adapt the configuration of your laboratory to your current experimental needs.

Time-saving operations

No extra cleaning or time for a home cage switch is needed. Infrared sensor levels are adjusted seamlessly by our software, taking less than a minute per study.

Collect the data you need

Locomotor activity
Fine movements
Rearing/Jumping
Tracking (distance travelled, speed)
Data calculated per user-defined interval of time

IR beam tracking easily presents differences in the locomotor activity between subjects of different groups with Ponemah software.

Ponemah® Software

Confidently collect, accurately analyze, and quickly summarize your activity data.

Your data is one of the most important assets and its management will have a direct impact on your success. Be certain of your data integrity using Ponemah software as your data engine.
