Analgesia meter is an apparatus which measures pain sensitivity
in laboratory animals especially in rats and mice. Tail-flick
apparatus is one of the analgesia meter which is used by
scientist working on neuromuscular physiology. The instrument has
a shutter controlled lamp which provides heat source. Activation
of an intense light beam to the tail through opening the shutter
results in a discomfort at some point when the animal will flick
its tail out of the beam. The photo detector detects the tail
motion. The total time elapsed between shutter opening and
animal's reaction is displayed on an easily read display. Data
can be printed directly. For getting information, please provide
your street address. I will be happy to send you information on
Tail-flick apparatus.
