46503 - Sociability Apparatus (3-chambered social test)
The new Ugo Basile Sociability Apparatus (3-chambered social test) is a valuable tool to study social behaviour in mice. It is especially useful for research on autism disease, parental behaviour, sociability and social memory (social novelty).

It consists of a 3-chambered transparent Perspex cage, a special non-reflective, grey-coloured floor and 2 grid enclosures.
