The 37215 Analgesy-meter is the classic device to perform Paw Pressure experiments according to the Randall-Selitto method, The Ugo Basile original design dates back to the 1960s.
Typically, the Randall-Selitto method is used as a rapid and sensitive screening of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
The force is applied to the animal paw, which is placed on a small plinth under a cone-shaped pusher with a rounded tip, which does not hurt the animal. The 37215, originall designed for rats, is conveniently used also with mice; however, when lower pressure is required, we offer model 37216, with applied pressure reduced to 50% and including a special chisel-shaped pusher.
The operator depresses a pedal-switch to start the mechanism which exerts the force; when the rat struggles, the operator releases the pedal and reads off the scale the force at which the animal felt pain. Additional weights are provided, to increase the force range. The Analgesy-Meter features a low voltage synchronous motor.
The classic Analgesy-Meter can now be integrated with a specific pressure sensor and the related controller, available as optional, which upgrades the Analgesy-Meter to a fully digital device.
As the basic design is unchanged, results with the digital model are consistent with published data.
The design of the upgrade kit makes it easy to retrofit existing UB Analgesy-Meters as well.

The Plantar Test Instrument (Hargreave’s Method) measures response to infrared heat stimulus, applied to the plantar surface.
The new Hot/Cold Plate NG offers a wide temperature range, presettable in the range -5°C to 65°C and is very quick and precise in reaching and keeping the preset temperature.
These well-engineered Metabolic & Diuresis Cages supply uncontaminated samples of effectively separate urine and feces of the rodent.
The Isolated Organ Baths have been designed for accurate recording of isometric or isotonic tissue contraction/release. Available as 1, 2, 4-channel turn-key systems (4000, 4050, 4400), used in classic pharmacology research and teaching worldwide since 1960s!
The Rat RotaRod consists of four 6cm diam. cylinders, which are suitably machined to provide grip. Five 49cm diam. dividers make for four lanes, each 8.7cm wide, enabling four rats to be on the rotor simultaneously. The height to fall is 30cm.
