InliCage Add-On SocialBox

InliCage的扩展社会笼（SocailBox）

The SocialBox allows monitoring of social behavior of mice using the InliCage transponder-based RFID – technology. Additional cages can be used either for monitoring social interactions between animals or for the monitoring of individual spatial preference patterns. Up to four SocialBoxes can be added to one InliCage creating 5 compartments of a multi-arena system. SocialBoxes are used for different tasks including monitoring of preference or avoidance by creating different environments in the boxes （e.g. differential lighting, temperature, color or padding, by olfactoric/acoustic devices or novel objects）. The SocialBoxes are controlled by an upgraded InliCage Plus – software allowing a maximum of 8 InliCages or 32 SocialBoxes （= up to 128 mice） as your demands grow. Experimental and control animals can be held in the same or in a separate system, which can be upgraded gradually up to the maximal setup if requested.
社会笼SocialBox使用InliCage基于异频雷达收发机的RFID技术，可以监测小鼠的社会行为。额外的笼子即可以被用于监测动物之间的社会互动，也可以监测个体的空间偏好模式。zui多四个社会笼可以附加到一个InliCage上，以产生五个隔间的多区域系统。社会笼被用于各种任务，包括通过在笼子里产生不同的环境（例如不同的光照，温度，颜色或垫料，通过嗅觉/声觉设备或新颖的对象）监测偏好或回避。社会笼通过一个升级的InliCage Plus软件进行控制，zui多八个InliCage或32个社会笼（等于zui多128只小鼠）。实验动物和控制动物可以放进相同的或不同的系统，如果需要，系统可以逐步升级到zui高配置。
