Description

The Elevated Plus maze is an apparatus widely validated for anxiety and fear experiments. Using the natural aversion to open spaces, time between the closed arm and open arm is measured as a method to investigate unconditioned fear. The Maze Engineers automated elevated plus maze uses quiet automated doors in conjunction with infrared detection in 17 different zones to create an elevated plus maze that minimizes human investigator fear confounders and maximizes your data collection.

Description & Features

Downwards Facing Doors

ConductMaze Software

“Silent Mode”

Strength & Durability

Downwards directing doors is ideal for teathered experiments, and ensures animal safety

Our ConductMaze software allows for OpenAPI access, allowing for quick and easy modifications and plugin creation to infinitely customize your maze. Each custom ordered maze comes with 1 free plugin creation

The maze functions with very little sound to minimize startle, anxiety, and maximum exploration within the maze

Complete trust in how long the maze will last–made of high quality, but also light weight aluminum with thick acrylic parts ensures both ideal animal environments and maximum strength for long lasting mazes

Optical Detection

24/7, 99.9% accurate optical detection with easy to configure actionable responses to movement

Multiple Colors Available

Suggested color choices include Blue, Grey, Black, White & Clear, but we can make it any color of the rainbow!

Secure lids

Lids can be configured to create safe, secure environments

Copper Shielding

Copper shielding allows for maximized data collection in electrophysiology experiments . Please inquire about this option.
