Introduction
The Tail Suspension Test is a classic behavioral test for assessing depression in rats and mice. By observing the struggling behavior of animals in an inescapable environment, the level of depression can be assessed.

We offer a complete system, including Tail Suspension Chamber, video acquisition equipment, and video analysis software. The system records animal behavior during the experiment, and the behavioral analysis software automatically extracts target parameters, enabling assessment of depression. Three models are available: mouse, rat, and a universal model.
Features
Backlight panel Improves video-tracking performance:Equipped with a backlight panel, it reduces ambient light interference and improves video-tracking performance.

Supports multi-channel experiments:A multi-channel version is available, supporting up to 8 animals simultaneously in experiments.

Automatic tracking and accurate results:Using video tracking technology, the system automatically identifies the experimental animals, monitors immobility, and analyzes experimental parameters, making the results more objective and accurate.

Application Field

The Tail Suspension Test is primarily used for assessing depression in rats and mice. It is commonly used in research on mental disorders such as depression, screening of Antidepressants, and studies of other diseases that induce depression-like symptoms.
