The TSE InfraMot system is designed to register the total activity of one or more small laboratory animals under any lighting conditions by reliably sensing the movement of heat radiated from the animal bodies. The sensor does not differentiate between horizontal or vertical movement, any activity in the cage is summarized to a gross activity counter instead, making the system especially suited for long-term monitoring of circadian activity. As part of the PhenoMaster NG research platform, the miniaturized and light-weight sensor unit is mounted on top of a PhenoMaster homecage lid. It can be combined and synchronized with any other measurement module of the PhenoMaster family for a comprehensive evaluation of metabolism, physiology and behavior.
