Treadmill for small animals
Panlab/Harvard Apparatus small animal treadmills are specially designed to enable forced exercise training and accurate testing of fatigue in laboratory animals
Multiple options are available depending on the species and number of lanes desired These treadmills feature speed adjustment up to 150cm/s and are the only ones on the market that can accommodate both positive and negative slopes as standard! They can accommodate from -25 to +25deg to add greater flexibility to the users

Overflow/spill sensor protects valuable equipment
Provides a simple and effective method for detecting leaks and spills around sensitive equipment turning off pumps or other items in the event of a spill
High quality construction includes specially selected materials to guarantee the best performance under conditions of intensive use while requiring minimal maintenance.
The lane width was designed to allow sufficient space for the subject to correct its errors in coordination and thereby allow an exact measurement of the fatigue without deficiencies in motor coordination.
The units include a shock grid and SeDaCom software as standard.
The shock is of constant intensity - from 0 to 2mA - and is not affected by the body weight of the animal.
This allows the Panlab system to be as humane as possible while still offering a shock to help train the animal.
Panlab single lane treadmills can be supplied with an air isolation enclosure for exercise physiology experiments with a respiratory metabolism monitoring system such as our Oxylet.
