• High-resolution behavioral phenotyping system (1 Hz on all measurements)
• Built-in body mass monitoring
• Capture and analyze behavioral events, such as food intake, water intake, lounging, wheel activity and movement
• Feeding applications include paired or yoked, time and duration, food or drink choice, or behavior-based reward

Capture and analyze a wide range of mouse behaviors 

The Promethion Behavioral Phenotyping System features the modular flexibility to support real-time behavioral studies in a home-cage setting. Capture a complete data-rich archive of behaviors with unbeatable temporal resolution. Second-by-second observations can discern seemingly subtle mouse behaviors relevant to your investigations that would otherwise be missed by less precise systems.
