Dark Light Box

The Light/Dark Box (also known as the Dark Light Box) is a widely used behavioral apparatus for assessing anxiety-related behavior in rodents. Leveraging the rodent’s natural aversion to bright environments and curiosity to explore, the dark light test is a non-invasive, easy-to-use tool requiring no animal pre-training. Our Light Dark Box is designed to offer high precision, flexibility, and compatibility with behavioral video tracking software such as SANS-AI or Any-maze.

Overview

The light dark box enables researchers to perform reproducible rodent anxiety tests, helping evaluate the effects of anxiolytic or anxiogenic compounds. Mice or rats exhibiting anxiety-like behavior tend to spend more time in the dark compartment, while less anxious subjects show increased exploration of the lighted zone.
