Tail Flick Test

The Tail Flick Test is a high-precision analgesia meter designed to measure pain sensitivity and nociceptive thresholds in rats and mice. This system applies an infrared thermal stimulus to the rodent’s tail; when the animal perceives discomfort, it reacts with a characteristic “tail flick.” The latency time between stimulus and reaction is automatically recorded, providing a reliable index of pain response and analgesic drug efficacy.

Overview

The Tail flick test is used to measure the nociceptive threshold and variation to infrared heat stimulus on the rat or mouse tail. It utilizes infrared (IR) heat technology to deliver consistent, reproducible, and non-invasive stimuli. With a 7-inch touch screen display, adjustable intensity, and automated data acquisition. The tail flick device offers researchers a modern, intuitive, and efficient solution for preclinical pain and pharmacological research.

FAQ

Q1: What is the Tail Flick Test used for?
It is used to measure the pain threshold (nociceptive response) in rodents by recording the reaction time to a thermal (infrared) stimulus applied to the tail.

Q2: Can the Tail Flick Test be used for both rats and mice?
Yes. The Tail Flick Test (SA706) is suitable for both rats and mice, with different restrainer, adjustable intensity and duration to match species sensitivity.

Q3: What technology is used to deliver the heat stimulus?
The system uses infrared heat stimulus with CNC-controlled frequency modulation to ensure stable and accurate temperature output.

Q4: How many data points can be stored?
Up to 200 measurements can be stored, viewed, printed, or exported to a PC for detailed analysis.

Q5: What makes BioMed’s Tail Flick Test different from other systems?
Compared with conventional devices, our Tail Flick Test offers higher precision, intuitive operation, stable IR output, and advanced data management, making it more efficient and researcher-friendly.
