PhenoSys - Animal Activity Monitor
From RFID Based Tools
Activity and movement are fundamental diagnostic parameters of animal behaviour. However, measuring long-term individual movement within groups was not possible until recently. Our ActivityMonitor provides accurate individual movement data in a fully automated way. This is a unique solution for the 24/7 long-term tracking of individual animals living in groups which requires no operator attention.

Products Details
The sensor plate placed underneath a cage detects individuals and tracks them as they move through the cage. Automated and long-term assessment of individual activity is made possible without having to place individuals in separate cages. The ActivityMonitor utilises advanced RFID-technology.
Features
- Calculations:
- Distances travelled
- Spatial preferences
- Move time
- Rest time
- Movement velocity
- Based on RFID-technology (transponder)
- Fully automated, 24/7 for every tagged animal
- Efficient space use since individuals stay in group cage.
RFID Technology
The ActivityMonitor is based on RFID-technology. It allows the tracking of an individual in a group.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology identifies and tracks an individual within a group of animals. All animals have to carry subcutaneous transponders. These transponders require no battery and are powered by the electro-magnetic fields emitted by the RFID-Readers.
Application
- Measurement of individual locomotor activity and distances
- Ideal for rat and mouse models of hyperactivity, movement disorders (i.e. ADHD, Parkinson’s), neuropathic pain, and arthritis
- Determination of individual spatial preferences within a group cage.
- Application Note
Options
- Available for different cage types.
