The experimental temperature of placement of the subject on the plate and the first sign of nocifensive response such as paw licking or jumping can be recorded in real time.
The hot plate test has been the gold standard test for thermal pain tests in rodents and acts as an effective screening tool interventions of analgesia. Science Hot Plate adopt 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, thus being able to control the current temperature more accurately. The Hot Plate contains a metal temperature plate with a digital display and a lidded transparent glass cylindrical restrainer.
The experimental temperature of placement of the subject on the plate and the first sign of nocifensive response such as paw licking or jumping can be recorded in real time.
