This is a Columbus Instruments Incapacitance Tester (Incap v1 5.5), W "Medium" Holder What you will get: Columbus Instruments Incapacitance Tester (Incap v1 5.5) P/N 1029-M-D58 "Medium" Holder (Works for small rats up to about 250 Grams) Power Cord Special Serial Cable (which can't be used with the firmware on these units) Printout of the manual These units have Version 5.5 Firmware on the units Description: A Columbus Instruments Incapacitance Tester (Incap v1 5.5), W "Medium" Holder. 2 Units are available. In my testing of these units, they calibrate fine. However, if you want to use the software that Columbus Instruments has, you will have to purchase a firmware upgrade from Columbus Instruments, (which is somewhat expensive). These units have firmware 5.5 on them. To use the computer interface software, you will need firmware version 5.51C. If you make the purchase from me and want to get in touch with Columbus Instruments, I have the email address of one of the most helpful technical sales persons I have ever had the opportunity to communicate with. Also accessories can be ordered from Columbus Instruments (such as if you want a smaller or larger animal holder), or a foot switch. These units can be used without the software as most of the time, the user just looks at the display and writes the values down. About the Columbus Instruments Incapacitance Tester: The Columbus Instruments Incapacitance Tester offers an automatic and reproducible assessment of analgesic potency by measuring the weight distribution on the two hind paws of a small subject. The force exerted by each limb (measured in grams) is averaged over a user selectable period thus indicating any tendency for the subject to shift its weight from one side to another, hence providing a quantitative measurement of Incapacitance. The technique of dual channel weight averaging overcomes a number of deficiencies inherent in the traditional methods of assessment (Randall and Selitto 1957) by presenting continuous monitoring of both limbs and by eliminating the subjectivity of the withdrawal method. The Incapacitance Meter has been developed and validated by researchers and engineers from the Neuroscience Unit of a leading Pharmaceutical Company where it is used routinely. The instrument is easy to operate and apart from periodic checking of the calibration, requires no maintenance. The display unit on the front panel indicates experimental status information and results. Data can be logged to a PC via the serial interface which has the capacity to handle up to 256 units. A simple software program acquires and stores the results along with the experimental data assuring compliance with GLP guidelines. (Assumes Firmware Version 5.51C which is not included). Operates in "Stand Alone" mode or via Windows compatible PC (2000 or better if you have firmware version 5.51C) Sensor Range: 1 Kg per transducer. Subject max weight is 1 Kg Resolution: 0.01 gram-force Links and Documentation: Link to the Columbus Instruments Site where the manual can be downloaded Free shipping in the USA If you receive your item and it is not to your 100 Percent Satisfaction, please contact us before leaving feedback.
