The open field test is a popular protocol used to assess exploratory behavior and anxiety in rodents. Thigmotaxis in the open field is used to evaluate anxiolytic, anxiogenic and non-pharmacological treatments as well as genetic manipulations. Ambulation is the most common behavior studied with the open field, but others such as latency or rearing can also be measured. Our IR open field testing system adopts dynamic scanning infrared detection technology, detection accuracy is less than 5mm; Compared to video tracking, our system is not affected by the color of the animal, channels numbers, and ambient light to ensure stable tracking.
