Phenotyping tools
Behavior, Cognition & sensory organs
Several protocols adapted to rodents (Phenomin-ICS, Chronobiotron, Anexplo) or non-human primates (MPRC) are available for evaluation of a wide range of central and peripheral nervous system functions or their pathologies. Tests may be used as a packages for phenotyping genetically modified mice and rats, to study environmental disease models or to screen for potential therapeutics. Alternatively, a panel tests may be customized with our expert consultancy for rapid and targeted discovery.
