BIO-ACTIV2: a real activity tracker for your rodents

Do you dream of an uncomplicated and affordable way to monitor rodent activity over several days from their home cage without manual effort ?

Bioseb makes that dream come true with the redesigned ActivMeter BIO-ACTIV2 !

Numerous diseases correlate with altered activity, which has led to the emergence of multiple options for measuring spontaneous rodent activity. Unfortunately, a number of these tracking solutions suffer from imprecise measurement, exorbitent price or require surgical intervention.

Utilizing platform-configured force sensor technology, BIO-ACTIV2 ActivMeter records rodent movement and immobility phases without the constraint of a video camera or surgical implant and with a displacement accuracy of 1 cm. Each activity parameter is captured in a user-friendly software that also displays diurnal actigraphs, heat maps and nest drawings.
