Our Modular Operant Chamber is an entirely modular experimental enclosure designed to conduct operant conditioning procedures (e.g. food reinforcement, DMTS, conflict tests, self-administration…).

The operant chamber is made in an entirely modular structure which allows complete disassembling or rearrangement to build a new space of different dimensions/components or to enable storage in the minimum space. It can be easily transformed from rat chamber to mice chamber (or vice versa) with a reduced cost.

A frontal door offers a total accessibility inside the chamber. Walls and cover can be of different material or colour, since they are totally removable.

Each chamber is associated with a Link Box which provides power to up to 8 (expandable to 16) Operant Modules (levers, lights, sound, dispensers, electrical shock...) conferring to the chambers a full autonomy.

The Cages can be equipped with a Weigh Transducer in order to record activity or freezing.

Self administration cages They are based on skinner boxes combined in a modular design: placement and quantity of different accessories can be adapted to suit all your specific procedures. Settings and reporting is then to be done using the "Packwin" software. Special accessories are provided for self-administration procedures. Only one cable connects the Link Box to the LE85XCT Programmer or PC (PackWin Software), this last for advanced protocol configuration and running...

Parameters Measured:
• Number of responses (LE 85XCT)
• Number of reinforcements (LE 85XCT)
• And many user-defined parameters (see PackWin software)

Key features:
•Entirely modular system
•Easily transformed from rat to mice chamber
•Reduced number of cables
•Possibility of customization
•Up to 8 stations can be connected at once to PC through a single cable

2 models available: for rats and mice
