Discover our productsBioseb launched the first Dynamic Weight Distribution (DWB) in collaboration with Sherbrooke University (Canada), in 2010, for studying inflammatory pain in rodents. Since then we continue to innovate with systems designed to evaluate spontaneous pain and postural alterations. By detecting subtle behavioral changes, our devices contribute to understanding musculoskeletal pain and nerve injury models. Read more >

Bioseb's instruments are trusted by researchers worldwide to study spontaneous pain and postural deficits, as demonstrated in numerous peer-reviewed studies. These tools are pivotal for advancing the understanding of chronic pain and motor impairments in preclinical models. Here are examples of key studies using our innovative solutions in pain research.
Bioseb’s specialized instrumentation enables researchers to quantify spontaneous pain behaviors and postural alterations in rodent models. These systems reveal subtle yet significant changes in animal posture, weight distribution, and mobility—key indicators of discomfort or pain resulting from musculoskeletal issues, nerve injuries, and chronic pain conditions.
By objectively measuring changes in weight bearing, force distribution, and spontaneous pain-related behaviors, these tools facilitate a comprehensive understanding of pain pathophysiology. Such insights are vital for developing and assessing new analgesics, rehabilitation strategies, and therapeutic interventions that target underlying pain mechanisms.
These devices are suited for evaluating pain arising from musculoskeletal disorders, nerve injury models, inflammatory conditions, and post-surgical pain. They provide critical insights into both acute and chronic forms of spontaneous pain and associated postural deficits.
Altered weight distribution and postural shifts often occur when an animal experiences pain. These subtle changes can serve as sensitive indicators of discomfort before more overt behaviors appear. By quantifying these changes objectively, researchers gain early, reliable data on the presence and severity of pain.
Our systems are designed with animal welfare in mind. For example, the Static Weight Bearing Touch test (Incapacitance Test) and Dynamic Weight Bearing setup reduce handling stress. Automated data acquisition and advanced image processing minimize human intervention, ensuring accurate and reproducible results while minimizing observer bias.
Yes. Results from weight-bearing and postural assessments can be exported in standard formats compatible with various data analysis software. Researchers can easily combine these measurements with other endpoints, such as imaging, electrophysiology, or biochemical assays, to form a more comprehensive understanding of pain mechanisms.
The Bioseb CIS Software standardizes data acquisition and analysis, reducing variability between sessions and operators. By capturing reflex responses and automating key calculations, CIS improves data consistency, helping researchers confidently draw conclusions from their experiments.
