in fact, all Animal Mazes manufactured by Ugo Basile are designed to give optimal results with any Video-Tracking software. This is achieved by:
- high-contrast colors: grey, white, black or the NEW Ugo Basile light-blue
- non-reflective surface: reflections are a common source of error in animal tracking. Let’s avoid them!
All materials were selected to be sturdy and easy to clean, to construct reliable and durable mazes. Surface texture was selected for best rodent comfort (reasonably rough, “warm” surface).
Two sizes are available, for either mice or rats. The mouse Radial Maze, has eight 36cm long arms, 5cm wide and 15cm tall. In the rat model the 8 arms are 50cm long, with a 10cm width and a 20cm height. Different wall heights are available on request
The walls fit solidly in the slotted metal base, but can be easily and quickly detached for easy cleaning and storage.
Optional tools can be added to the Radial Arm Maze upon request. For more sophisticated tests, see also the Ugo Basile Multi-Maze, fully automated modular system for Mouse or Rat
