M3014 Tail-Flick Analgesia Meter for Rats and Mice

The light-induced tail-flick method (also known as photothermal tail-flick method or radiant heat tail-flick method) of the rat and mouse tail nociception tester works on the basic principle that a beam of light is irradiated onto the animal's tail to produce a heat-collecting effect, which raises the local temperature of the tail and induces pain sensation. When the pain threshold tolerated by the animal is exceeded, the animal will flick its tail to escape. This method of judging the level and changes of the animal's pain threshold is called the light-induced tail-flick method.
