InliCage Add-On SocialBox

InliCage的擴(kuò)展社會(huì)籠（SocailBox）

The SocialBox allows monitoring of social behavior of mice using the InliCage transponder-based RFID – technology. Additional cages can be used either for monitoring social interactions between animals or for the monitoring of individual spatial preference patterns. Up to four SocialBoxes can be added to one InliCage creating 5 compartments of a multi-arena system. SocialBoxes are used for different tasks including monitoring of preference or avoidance by creating different environments in the boxes （e.g. differential lighting, temperature, color or padding, by olfactoric/acoustic devices or novel objects）. The SocialBoxes are controlled by an upgraded InliCage Plus – software allowing a maximum of 8 InliCages or 32 SocialBoxes （= up to 128 mice） as your demands grow. Experimental and control animals can be held in the same or in a separate system, which can be upgraded gradually up to the maximal setup if requested.
社會(huì)籠SocialBox使用InliCage基于異頻雷達(dá)收發(fā)機(jī)的RFID技術(shù)，可以監(jiān)測(cè)小鼠的社會(huì)行為。額外的籠子即可以被用于監(jiān)測(cè)動(dòng)物之間的社會(huì)互動(dòng)，也可以監(jiān)測(cè)個(gè)體的空間偏好模式。zui多四個(gè)社會(huì)籠可以附加到一個(gè)InliCage上，以產(chǎn)生五個(gè)隔間的多區(qū)域系統(tǒng)。社會(huì)籠被用于各種任務(wù)，包括通過在籠子里產(chǎn)生不同的環(huán)境（例如不同的光照，溫度，顏色或墊料，通過嗅覺/聲覺設(shè)備或新穎的對(duì)象）監(jiān)測(cè)偏好或回避。社會(huì)籠通過一個(gè)升級(jí)的InliCage Plus軟件進(jìn)行控制，zui多八個(gè)InliCage或32個(gè)社會(huì)籠（等于zui多128只小鼠）。實(shí)驗(yàn)動(dòng)物和控制動(dòng)物可以放進(jìn)相同的或不同的系統(tǒng)，如果需要，系統(tǒng)可以逐步升級(jí)到zui高配置。
