The GEMINI Active and Passive Avoidance System was designed specifically to test active and passive avoidance in rats and mice. Unlike many others, GEMINI’s hardware and software have been developed for the sole purpose of your avoidance study. Available in two configurations, shock or shock and air puff, GEMINI’s unique design allows you to run up to 8 independently-operated stations directly from your laptop!
Features:
Configure up to 8 independent avoidance chambers for rapid testing of subjects
Ensure data accuracy by setting up your study in advance
Run the entire system from your laptop or PC using a standard USB port
Deploy continuous testing with independent station starts
Choose an array of cues including non-heating LED house lights, user selectable auditory stimuli, and quiet auto door
Switch between rats and mice in under 5 minutes using interchangeable grid floors
Easy to Use
GEMINI’s unique design allows you to run up to 8 independently operated stations directly from your laptop using a standard USB. In addition, by allowing you to define a complete study in advance, GEMINI eliminates run time data entry that could affect the accuracy of your results.
Scrambled Shock Provides More Accurate Responses
The GEMINI animal shocker – a solid state feedback-controlled, constant current shocker uses 8 unique outputs to scramble the shock across the grid floor. Scrambling the shock prevents the animal from determining a pattern and leads to more accurate responses.
Kinder, Gentler, Unconditioned Stimulus
The Gemini System offers an alternative air puff unconditioned stimulus. This is a kinder and gentler unconditioned stimulus.
GEMINI Optional Components
Air puff stimulation unit (AIRSTIM)
Additional test stations
Mouse passive avoidance start box
