ThermoEZ Heat Chamber

ThermoEZ (item # 02010) is an advanced heating cabinet equipped with user defined temperature ramp protocols and the capability to remotely monitor animal behavior through its integrated camera. Its applications span various research areas, including hyperthermia-induced Febrile Seizures, the study of physiological and behavioral mechanisms of thermoregulation, Hyperthermia cancer therapy, metabolic phenotyping, and post-operative recovery.

ThermoEZ+ is an upgraded platform crafted for high-throughput behavior phenotyping with ThermoEZ cabinets. It integrates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for real-time monitoring of body temperature and behavior across multiple animals, aiming to substantially accelerate the experimental timeline and minimizing data variations.

Key features

  • Customizable temperature ramp protocols allow users to store up to 8 heating protocols, each comprising a maximum of 32 steps.
  • Swift temperature ramping and cooling: The internal cabinet temperature can ascend to 60°C in just 2 minutes and then rapidly cool back to room temperature within the same time frame.
  • Minimized visual distractions for the animal with a frosted finish on the lower front wall, while ensuring easy observation for the experimenter through the clear upper front wall.
  • Supports the measurement of animal body temperature through a rectal probe, with openings at the bottom of the side walls allowing for cable passage.
  • Compatible with tethered animals.
  • Optional: Integrated camera and software enable real-time monitoring and recording of animal behavior.
