Sucrose Preference Test (SPT)

The Sucrose Preference Test (SPT) is a simple behavioral test widely used to assess motivation, depression (and anhedonia) and related emotional states in rodents. In SPT test, rodents typically exhibit a natural preference for palatable sweet solutions, and it is therefore assumed that such preference is correlated with the pleasure an animal experience when it consumes sucrose.This SPT system features real-time statistics, automation and high accuracy, which greatly improves the efficiency of drug research and reduces the data bias and error caused by manual operation.Our SPT system record the total drinking time and times, liquid weight and other indicators in real time in free moving animals, and multi-channels can be conducted at the same time.Application: Pharmacology, Pharmacodynamics, Toxicology, Nutrition, Obesity Metabolism, Diabetes, Cardiovascular, Transgenic etc.

Reference

Reference

The Sucrose Preference Test is widely cited in behavioral neuroscience and pharmacological studies as a reliable method for evaluating anhedonia and emotional states in rodent models. It has been frequently applied in research on depression, drug screening, and neuropsychiatric disorders, demonstrating strong reproducibility and scientific credibility.
