The PhenoSys IDspyder is the ultimate solution for researchers looking to integrate advanced animal identification and tracking into their unique experimental environments. It offers unparalleled modularity, allowing you to create custom-sized sensor grids for any test arena, home cage, or complex setup.
Powered by robust RFID technology, the system accurately detects and tracks individual mice or rats reliably through time and space by the provided IDsensors.
The IDspyder is the perfect addition to video based behavioral phenotyping. It keeps track of the identity of visually identical individuals in video recordings.
Features
IDspyder central processing unit with power supply and Ethernet connection
Up to 32 sensors (flat or ring antenna)
PhenoSoft acquisition software
Key Benefits
Modular & Scalable Design
Customizable Grid: Configure sensor grids of virtually any size or shape to fit your specific test arena or home-cage dimensions.
Expandable System: Easily add more RFID sensors and control units as your experimental needs evolve or scale.
Accurate Individual Identification & Tracking
Precise Position Logging: Captures accurate location data within the monitored area, enabling detailed spatial analysis.
Continuous Monitoring: Provides uninterrupted tracking of animal presence and movement 24/7.
Seamless Integration
Suitable for Custom Setups: Ideal for home-built test arenas, mazes, or existing behavioral setups.
Flexible Deployment: Sensors can be easily placed underneath or integrated into various surfaces.
Automated Data Acquisition
Reliable Detection: Ensures consistent and accurate detection of RFID-tagged animals.
Software Integration: Works with accompanying software- PhenoSoft Control, to log all detection events for later analysis.
