Introduction
The Light/Dark Box is a commonly used test for assessing anxiety-like behavior in rodents. By comparing the animals' activity in the bright area and the dark area, the anxiety level of rodents can be assessed.

We offer a complete system, including test box, isolation cubicle, 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 anxiety-like behavior. Three models are available: mouse, rat, and a universal model.
Features
Detection of activity in the dark chamber:The light chamber uses visible light illumination, while the dark chamber uses infrared illumination, allowing complete detection of animal activity in the box.

Reduction of environmental interference:Equipped with a soundproof isolation cubicle, it can isolate environmental light and noise interference.

Automated tracking and analysis:Video tracking technology automatically identifies the experimental animals, extracts movement trajectories, and analyzes experimental parameters, making the results more objective and precise.

Application Fields

The Light/Dark Box is mainly used to assess anxiety in rodents. It is commonly applied in neuropsychiatric disease research, such as behavioral assessment in models of various neuropsychiatric disorders including anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, as well as in the screening of anxiolytic drugs.
