Laboratory stand for conducting research on the open field technique

摘要

The utility model relates to the field of experimental studies on animals, namely to the behavioral activity of small laboratory animals, in particular, white non-linear rats using the open field technique. The purpose of the proposed utility model is to create conditions for stressful effects on animals placed in each monitor of the laboratory bench. It is achieved by equipping the laboratory bench with a 2-mode illuminator, providing in the white light mode the level of illumination on the floor of the monitor is 600 lux and in the red light mode is 350 lux, by an electric bell, ensuring the sound level on the floor of the monitor from 60 to 70 dB, opaque partitions between adjacent walls of monitors. The result of the technical solution implemented in the utility model is the possibility of conducting experiments using the open field technique under conditions of comfortable (red light) and stressful (bright white light) illumination, acoustic stress (electric bell) when the animals are isolated from each other.
