The hot cold plate test is used to detect the animal’s thermal sensitivity to pain resulting from exposure to heat or cold, acting as the gold standard test for thermal pain tests in rodents and acts as an effective screening tool intervention of analgesia.
SANS Hot Cold Plate, also call Analgesia Meter is based on a metal plate which can be heated to 65°C and cooled to -5°C. The Hot Cold Plate adopts precise PID control algorithm, which is different from the temperature breakpoint method adopted by ordinary temperature controllers. The PID algorithm will continuously collect temperature feedback to control heating/cooling, thus being able to control the current temperature more accurately.
The hot cold plate test is used to detect the animal’s thermal sensitivity to pain resulting from exposure to heat or cold, acting as the gold standard test for thermal pain tests in rodents and acts as an effective screening tool intervention of analgesia.
The Hot Cold Plate contains a metal temperature plate with a digital display and a lidded transparent glass cylindrical restrainer.
Application: Neuropathic pain, inflammatory pain, hot and cold allodynia and hyperalgesia etc.
