FAQ's of ANALGESIOMETER (Tail Flick):
Q: How does the Tail Flick Analgesiometer function in a laboratory setting?
A: The Tail Flick Analgesiometer operates by exposing a section of an animal's tail to a controlled heat source. The time taken for the animal to flick its tail away from the stimulus is recorded automatically, with high accuracy using the built-in timer. The cut-off mechanism ensures safe operation and prevents tissue injuries.
Q: What are the benefits of using a direct digital readout in this device?
A: A direct digital readout provides immediate and precise latency measurements, minimizing manual recording errors. This facilitates accurate data collection, improves workflow efficiency, and enhances result reliability for laboratory analysis.
Q: When should the inbuilt cut-off safety feature be considered vital during an experiment?
A: The inbuilt cut-off safety feature is crucial when testing involves sensitive samples or when the risk of tissue damage due to prolonged exposure is a concern. This automatic function stops the heat stimulus at a preset limit to ensure animal welfare.
Q: Where is this instrument typically used?
A: This equipment is designed for laboratory use, predominantly in research institutions, universities, and pharmaceutical labs where animal pain assessment and analgesic testing are conducted.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the temperature range in the device?
A: The temperature range can be set from 0C to 99.9C using the device's control interface. The operator adjusts the settings according to experimental protocols, and the heating element efficiently maintains the desired temperature for consistent results.
Q: How many samples can be tested at once with this device?
A: The instrument has a single-sample capacity, allowing researchers to focus on one animal at a time for careful observation and accurate measurement of pain response.
