Tail Suspension Test for Screening Anti-Depressant Activity in Mice



Harvard Apparatus has introduced the Tail Suspension Test for fast and reliable screening of anti-depressive and psychotropic properties of drugs in a mouse model.

The measuring principle is based on the energy expended by mice trying to escape from their suspension.

Automatic randomization is possible in the high-throughput system. This system can automatically measure the immobility and power generated by up to six mice simultaneously.

Complete system includes suspension cages and user-friendly software to run, record, analyze and replay experiments.
