FAQs of Analgesiometer "IKON:

Q: How is the IKON Analgesiometer operated during pain threshold experiments?

A: The IKON Analgesiometer is operated using either manual or digital push button modes for starting and stopping tests. Researchers place a single rat or mouse onto the appropriate holder, apply force using the test lever, and observe the built-in timer and digital display for precise measurements.

Q: What types of pain measurement methods can be performed with this device?

A: This device supports two established methods: Eddys hot plate test and the Randall Sellito method, allowing users to select the most suitable protocol based on their experimental requirements for measuring pain sensitivity in rodents.

Q: When is calibration required for the IKON Analgesiometer, and how is it performed?

A: Calibration is recommended upon initial setup, during routine maintenance, or if measurement inconsistencies are noted. While the device arrives factory pre-calibrated, users can perform recalibration using the provided controls, following the manufacturers instructions for accuracy.

Q: Where should the Analgesiometer be installed for safe and optimal operation?

A: The instrument should be placed on a stable laboratory bench in a well-ventilated, single-phase electrical environment, ensuring easy access to its 1.5-meter power cord and visibility of the digital display. Its compact dimensions facilitate installation even within restricted spaces.

Q: What is the process for measuring pain threshold using the IKON Analgesiometer?

A: Researchers secure the animal in the supplied holder, apply force incrementally up to 500 grams using the test lever, and monitor the animals response via the digital display and timer. Results are recorded directly from the microprocessor-controlled interface for analysis.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this Analgesiometer in laboratory settings?

A: Key benefits include highly accurate and direct digital readings, enhanced safety features, low noise operation, compact design, and versatility for different pain measurement methods. These attributes make it ideal for consistent and efficient pain threshold experiments in small laboratory animals.
