Presentation
SMART Junior is low-cost video-tracking system specially indicated for laboratories with very precise interests and concise meaningful reports. You build your own system with the the experiments matching your scientific needs. 3 experiments are already available now (Water-Maze, Open Field and Plus-Maze) and a more modules are coming soon...

With the more competitive price of the market, the SMART JUNIOR software fulfils all the basic functions of a classical video-tracking system. Ready-to-use configurations, Run panel and Data reports are directly targeted to specific standard experiments. An innovative Scheduler tool allows managing the subjects and trials in different phases and sessions for an easy retrieval and organization of the final data. Succinct graphs provide a direct visualization of the results obtained in the different experimental groups.

Smart Junior takes advantage of the latest technologies in terms of image processing for providing accurate data in the context of behavioural research on animal. The software platform is expandable: new ready-to-use protocol configurations can be easily plugged-in for widening the scope of the system.

SMART JUNIOR represents the finest solution for completing molecular and cellular studies by standard behavioural analysis. It is also a perfect alternative for emergent markets.
