Modular Operant Box for Operant Conditioning
Modular Operant Behavior System
Our Modular Operant Chamber is an entirely modular experimental
enclosure designed to conduct operant conditioning procedures (e.g. food
reinforcement, DMTS, conflict tests, self-administration, etc).
The operant chamber is made in an entirely modular structure which
allows complete disassembling or rearrangement to build a new space of
different dimensions/components or to enable storage in the minimum
space. It can be easily transformed from rat chamber to mice chamber (or
vice versa) with a reduced cost.
A frontal door offers a total accessibility inside the chamber. Walls and
cover can be of different material or color, since they are totally
removable.
Each chamber is associated with a Link Box which provides power to up
to 8 (expandable to 16) Operant Modules (levers, lights, sound,
dispensers, electrical shock) conferring to the chambers a full autonomy.
Special accessories are provided for self-administration procedures. Only
one cable connects the Link Box to the LE85XCT Programmer or PC
(PackWin Software), this last for advanced protocol configuration and
running.
The Cages can be equipped with a weigh transducer in order to record
activity or freezing.
