Video Tracking





Our video tracking solutions offers streamlined experimental design and implementation, allowing for seamless automation of otherwise manually-scored experiments. Applications span basic and clinical psychopharmacology, from characterization (differences between strains, effect of a genetic modification, etc.) and studying the behavioral effects of pharmacologic substances.



Tracking software - SMART 3.0 - Panlab - preclinical / neurological / image analysis

Protocols supported include activity assessments, open field, Morris water maze, T/Y mazes, conditioned place preference, Barnes maze, radial maze, light/dark box, object recognition, forced swim, tail suspension, social interaction and more!

Increase the productivity of your experiments with the last update of our Record-it! Media multi-camera video recording solution (up to 16 cameras).
