Paw Pressure Analgesia Meter
Orchid’s Digital Paw Pressure Analgesia Meter, Randall Selitto test has been designed according to Randall-Selitto test for rapid and precise screening of analgesic drugs on the normal and inflamed rat paw and displays the pressure digitally.
This test is based on determination of the animal threshold response to pain induced in the paw by the application of a uniformly increasing pressure.
The user depresses a pedal switch to start the mechanism which applies the force. When the animal start to struggles, the user releases the pedal and the pressure at which the animal felt pain is displayed on the TFT Display. The Pressure applicator goes up automatically as soon as the measurement is over.
A remote foot-switch controls the motor allowing rapid hands-free experiments. An automatic system is activated once the distal extreme switch of the sliding support track is reached or when the pedal is released at the test ending point. Then, the motor reverse its rotation, sliding up the pressure applicator again.
Force software can be used to automatically record the results on PC with USB adapter.
