  • PRODUCT DETAIL

ZH-SMTA Laboratory Animal Sleep Deprivation Instrument

Product Introduction

The ZH-SMTA Laboratory Animal Sleep Deprivation Instrument is designed for sleep research, neuroscience, and laboratory animal sleep disorder modeling. It uses a programmable rotating platform to prevent experimental animals from sleeping, offering an alternative to traditional water-based sleep deprivation methods and reducing the need for electrical stimulation.

With programmable motion cycles, adjustable sound stimulation, closed-loop servo motor control, and automatic data recording, the ZH-SMTA supports controlled sleep deprivation experiments involving mice and rats. Each instrument can accommodate up to eight animals simultaneously, making it suitable for long-term experimental protocols.


Performance Features

1.  Programmable Experimental Protocols: Freely configure forward rotation, reverse rotation, acceleration, deceleration, and rest periods to suit different experimental designs.

2.  Adjustable Sound Stimulation: Set sound stimulation frequency according to research requirements.

3.  Reduced Physical Stress: Uses platform movement rather than traditional water-based deprivation or electrical stimulation methods.

4.  Eight-Animal Capacity: Supports simultaneous experiments with up to eight mice or rats.

5.  Dual Operation Modes: Combines touchscreen manual control with English-language computer software.

6. Precision Servo Motor: Closed-loop feedback ensures accurate speed regulation and responsive operation.

7.  Automated Cycling: Running and resting periods can be programmed to repeat automatically.

8. Long-Term Experiment Support: Supports water supply for animals and extended experimental modeling.

9.  Automatic Data Management: Stores up to 50 sets of experimental data and supports browsing, printing, and computer transfer.


Working Principle

The ZH-SMTA sleep deprivation system uses a motor-driven platform that moves according to predefined experimental protocols. When the platform rotates, animals must adjust their positions and movements, helping prevent them from entering a normal sleep state.

Researchers can configure rotation direction, speed, acceleration, deceleration, rest intervals, and sound stimulation to control experimental conditions. The closed-loop servo system provides precise motion control, while the software records experimental data for subsequent analysis.
