Start Now - Free

Applications

Convenient and reliable activity tracking for rodents.

Open Field

Photobeam-based open field chambers provided in partnership with San Diego Instruments enable high-throughput activity and anxiety testing. Stream XY position data from multiple chambers directly to your BehaviorCloud account for downstream analysis of ambulatory vs. resting time, zone entries, rearing, and more.

Home Cage

Home cage photobeam systems from San Diego Instruments enable long-term activity measurements of many subjects in parallel. Great for studying circadian activity rhythms and more. Control your photobeam systems remotely through your BehaviorCloud account and preview the data in real-time from anywhere there's internet.
