VivaMARS Mobile Activity Rack System

A new activity solution specially designed to address all the needs of high efficiency in CROs for neurotoxicology and neuropharmacology studies.

VivaMARS, a new mobile activity rack solution designed to increase the efficiency of your activity studies.

Mobile Activity Rack System

Mobile activity rack system for activity studies in small laboratory animals. The system includes software, interface hardware, photobeam sensors placed into mobile rack units with individual capacity for 10 animals per rack, and wheels for transport as needed across the facility.

Data Accuracy

Two-dimensional (x,y) activity measurement and precise IR sensor spacing for optimal resolution and reliability. Smaller infrared beam spacing creates higher data accuracy ensuring minor movements are captured within your data and no therapeutic effects or adverse events will be missed.

High Throughput

With the high throughput capacity of the VivaMARS mobile activity rack system (up to 30 subjects by session), increase your experimental capacity and complete more studies in less time!

Flexible

Modular, portable system design for both mice and rats. Easily adapt the configuration of your laboratory to your current experimental needs.

Time-saving operations

Simply switch out the plastic cage to avoid additional cleaning between sessions. Infrared sensor levels are adjusted seamlessly by our software, taking less than a minute per study.

Collect the data you need

Locomotor activity
Fine movements
Rearing/Jumping
Tracking (distance travelled, speed)
Data calculated per user-defined interval of time

IR beam tracking easily presents differences in the locomotor activity between subjects of different groups with Ponemah software.

NOW AVAILABLE!
Many researchers begin with a single VivaMARS cabinet on the bench or a small stack—delivering
the same high-precision data quality as larger configurations, at a scale that fits academic
budgets.

Choose your configuration:
• 10 or 8-compartment rack (high throughput)
• 6-, 4- or 2- compartment configurations
• Single cabinet bench-top system

All systems are:
• Stackable
• Expandable
• Customizable
• Budget-adaptable

Add cabinets as your research program grows. Start small. Expand with your next grant.
