Analgesiometer (Tail Flick)
Model Number: MTLS-12
The Analgesiometer (Tail Flick) is a pharmacology research apparatus used for assessing thermal nociceptive responses by measuring the latency of tail withdrawal from a controlled heat stimulus. It is commonly used in experimental pharmacology and preclinical research for evaluating the effects of analgesic compounds and studying pain-response mechanisms. The instrument typically incorporates a focused heat source, animal positioning arrangement and electronic timing system for recording response latency. Adjustable stimulus intensity and an automatic cut-off function can help maintain consistent experimental conditions and prevent excessive exposure. Micro Technologies supplies pharmacology laboratory equipment for universities, pharmaceutical research laboratories, educational institutions and approved preclinical research facilities.
Product Specification
The Analgesiometer (Tail Flick) is designed for experimental measurement of thermal nociceptive response using the tail-flick method. During a test, a controlled thermal stimulus is directed toward the animal's tail, and the apparatus records the time taken for the tail-withdrawal response.
The system typically includes a focused heat source, animal positioning arrangement, electronic timer and control mechanism. Adjustable stimulus intensity allows researchers to establish suitable experimental conditions, while an automatic cut-off mechanism can limit exposure when the predetermined maximum response time is reached.
Tail-flick measurements are commonly expressed as response latency, which can be compared across experimental groups or treatment conditions. The method is widely used in pharmacology research for studying analgesic activity and thermal pain responses.
The apparatus is suitable for pharmacology teaching laboratories, pharmaceutical research, biomedical research and other appropriately approved preclinical studies. Experimental procedures involving animals should be conducted under the relevant institutional ethical approvals and applicable animal-welfare requirements.
Micro Technologies supplies laboratory equipment for pharmacology and research institutions requiring practical instrumentation for experimental drug studies and teaching applications.

FAQs
What is a Tail Flick Analgesiometer used for?
It is used to measure thermal nociceptive response by recording the latency of a tail-withdrawal response following application of a controlled heat stimulus.
What does the instrument measure?
The primary measurement is response latency, usually recorded as the time between application of the thermal stimulus and withdrawal of the tail.
Does the instrument have an automatic cut-off?
A typical configuration includes an automatic cut-off function to limit the maximum duration of thermal exposure during testing.
Where is the Tail Flick Analgesiometer used?
