Animal Research Analgesia Meter

Eddy's Hot Plate Analgesia or Analgesio Meter is capable of conducting a rapid and precise screening of the properties of analgesic drugs on small laboratory animals. Eddy's Hot Plate Analgesia or Analgesio Meter has been designed for the purpose of conducting hot plate pain tests. The animal is placed on top of an aluminum plate and the timer is initiated to evaluate its pain sensitivity to heat. At the instant the animal lifts its paws from the plate, the timer is halted by the operator in response to the discomfort. The animal's resistance to pain is measured by the latency to react, which is displayed on the front panel timer.



• The plate temperature can be maintained at a specific level between 5°C above ambient and 60°C (±0.2°C).

• The test start/stop is controlled by a remote foot-switch, enabling the conduct of hands-free experiments at a rapid pace.

• The instrument has the capability to include the maximum sequence numbers, auto experiment number, and animal sex.

• Uniform surface heat distribution and high temperature stability• The reaction time can be precisely measured with a 0.1-second resolution by activating the built-in timer via an external foot switch.• Results that are precise and reproducible• Disable the timer to prevent harm to the animal.• The top LID Sensor is used to detect when the lid is open, thereby preventing temperature fluctuations.• Software compatibility with PC connectivity• Software that includes the capability of generating reports and calibrations

• Software that allows for the addition of a title, comment, and graphical presentation, as well as the conversion of data to PDF or Excel
