FAQ

1. Which rodent models can be used with these anxiety and depression instruments?

Our systems are optimized for use with mice and rats. Specific products, such as the Open Field Cage or Elevated Plus Maze, are available in configurations suitable for either species. Please contact us for guidance on selecting the best setup for your model.

2. How do automated systems like the Tail Suspension Test - Wireless and the EPM3C reduce observer bias?

Automation relies on sensors and video acquisition for scoring behavior, minimizing human intervention and subjective assessments. This ensures that measurements are standardized, reproducible, and directly comparable across multiple experiments or operators.

3. How can I integrate data from these tests with other experimental results?

Bioseb’s data acquisition software exports results in widely compatible formats. This flexibility allows integration with additional datasets, such as electrophysiology, imaging, or molecular analyses, enabling a comprehensive understanding of underlying neurobiological mechanisms.

4. Can I use these instruments to screen potential drug candidates for anxiolytic or antidepressant properties?

Absolutely. Tests like the Vogel’s Test, Tail Suspension Test, and Forced Swimming Test are well-established paradigms for evaluating the efficacy of pharmacological compounds. By detecting changes in anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, researchers can rapidly identify promising drug candidates.

5. Are these tests approved and validated in the scientific community?

Yes. Tests like the Elevated Plus Maze, Forced Swimming Test, and Tail Suspension Test are widely used and validated in behavioral neuroscience. Using Bioseb’s standardized and automated versions ensures adherence to established scientific protocols and enhances the credibility of your findings.
