Circadian Cabinets from Phenome Technologies

Circadian Chambers - Light-tight chambers for circadian experiments from Phenome Technologies, with temperature and humidity monitors, and light controls.

Phenome Technologies' flagship product is the circadian cabinet. Each cabinet can be customized to work with your computerized tracking system, or directly work with Actimetrics Clocklab data collection and Chamber Control software. Standard features include LED lighting and rails for collecting wheel cage data. Cabinets are easily cleaned and accessed, and can be modified to accomodate different equipment. In addition, we build rat and mice wheel cages for behavioral studies.

List of diverse features and requirements:

• heat/temp/light monitoring

Standard Mouse Cabinet Includes data rails, ventilation, and light control. Lights can be controlled and activity data collected using Actimetrics Clocklab software, TTL signals, or Lamp Timers. 43-1/2" x 27" x 23-3/8"	Data Rails Data rails come with the cabinet for connecting to switches on cages. Two types are available: traditional with the dual banana plugs, and/or one with RJ11 powered jacks for silent switches.
Cabinet with Cameras and IR LEDs IR at 780nm produced heat, so extra ventilation was needed. We installed the system for video tracking using the Stoelting Anymaze system.	Rat Cabinet with Minimitter Platforms These 3 cabinets accomodate larger rat caging with activity being tracked using Minimitter plates. The cabinets are stacked on a steel platform. Large Black Cabinet Stack Dark black and a single open area for customer equipment and experiments. Dimensions: 60"x24"x24"
Single Level Divided This cabinet has 4 separate chambers for more light control with a smaller number of subjects. Inside dimensions: 22"x10"x18"
Hypoxia Testing System This system uses Okolab Controller for hypoxia experiments, Actimetrics software for data collection and light control, our automated feeders, and PIR sensors for monitoring non-wheel activity. In addition, a platform riser is being used to make the chamber easily accesible.
Thermoneutral Cabinets This design will provide heating of the cabinets up to 35 celsius. They passively cool to the room's temperature.	Cabinet with Adjustable Shelves This cabinet can be configured for 6 rat cages or 12 mouse cages. The shelves can be removed for larger testing equipment, 36"x34"x31"
Divided Cabinets with Feeders These two cabinets have dividers so that 4 separate feeding and light schedules can be programmed.	Sound Attenuated Cabinets These cabinets for rat caging have double walls with a heavy rubber/foam sound dampening material inside.
Mobile Stack This stack is mobile and has venting that can quickly attach to an independent air system.	Larger Cabinets in a Stack A stack of 3 cabinets. Smaller doors are used to protect the light seal integrity. They are supported by a larger 2" tubular steel frame. A cable pass is installed on the left side of each cabinet. Each cabinet is 54"x 29"x32"
