| 12850 | Tail Flick Analgesiometer |
Its uses can be summarized as follows:
Pain Sensitivity Assessment:
- Measures the response time of animals to a noxious stimulus, such as heat, applied to their tails.
Analgesic Testing:
- Evaluates the effectiveness of analgesic drugs by assessing changes in the tail flick response.
Objective Pain Measurement:
- Provides an objective method for quantifying pain sensitivity in preclinical studies.
Nociceptive Reflex:
- Assesses the nociceptive (pain) reflex by measuring the time taken for the animal to flick its tail away from the heat source.
Research Tool:
- Used in research settings to study pain mechanisms, analgesic drug development, and pain modulation pathways.
High Throughput:
- Allows for high-throughput screening of analgesic compounds in a controlled and reproducible manner.
Temperature Control:
- Enables precise control of the thermal stimulus applied to the tail for consistent testing conditions.
Neurological Studies:
- Contributes to neurological and pharmacological research aimed at understanding pain perception and modulation.
Pharmacological Screening:
- Integral in screening potential analgesic compounds for their efficacy and safety in preclinical models.
