The LE001PH Multitake cage is a system used to study rodents’ feeding/drinking behaviour. The equipment features four interchangeable feeders. The feeders can be supplied for liquids or for solid food. The equipment monitors the weight of each feeder, making it possible to accurately determine the amount of food or drink that the animal has taken from each one.

The LE001PH also has a system for measuring motor activity. The position-detecting method is based on a frame and a battery of infrared beams arranged in a grid. The experimental animal’s movements break the infrared beams, making it possible to determine the magnitude of the motor activity through an analysis of position and frequency of beam breakage.

The collected information is relayed to a computer via an RS232-type serial communication port. A single computer port can be used to link up to 24 LE001PH units by connecting them via the two RS232 serial ports (MAIN and REMOTE ) included on each unit.
