  Electronic von Frey — Quantitative Mechanical Allodynia Assessment

The Electronic von Frey Meter provides a digital, objective method to assess mechanical allodynia — a pain response to normally non-painful mechanical stimuli.

With high-resolution force sensors and real-time data output, researchers can quantify tactile sensitivity changes caused by nerve injury, inflammation, or drug intervention.

Key Features:

• Precision Force Measurement — Detects mechanical thresholds with fine resolution

• Digital Display — Enables accurate and repeatable data capture

• User-Friendly Design — Lightweight probe for stable, consistent readings

• Validated in Pain Models — Ideal for neuropathic and inflammatory pain studies

Applications:

• Mechanical allodynia testing

• Peripheral nerve injury and inflammation models

• Evaluation of analgesic compound efficacy
  
  Plantar Test — Thermal Nociception Measurement

The Plantar Test System is engineered for thermal pain threshold testing, designed specifically for narcotic and non-narcotic analgesic evaluation.

This infrared-based instrument measures paw withdrawal latency upon radiant heat exposure, providing a precise, non-invasive method to assess thermal sensitivity and analgesic effects.

Features & Benefits:

Available Combinations:

• Plantar Test + Tail Flick Meter Kits for complete nociceptive profiling.
