ENV-114M: Nose Poke Response with Three Color Cue for Rat
This alternative response device has a 1.0" (2.5 cm) access hole is bisected by a sensitive infrared detector placed 0.25" (6.4 mm) in from the front edge. The control amplifier operates on 28 V DC and produces a ground output whenever the beam is broken. The back of the unit contains a stimulus display made up of three colored LEDs (red, green, yellow)

Dimensions: Panel: 3.0” W x 4.875” H (7.6 cm x 12.4 cm)

ENV-114AM: Nose Poke Response for Rat
This unit is identical to the ENV-114M but without the three colored cue lights.

Dimensions: Panel: 3.0” W x 4.875” H (7.6 cm x 12.4 cm)

ENV-114BM: Nose Poke Response for Rat
This unit is identical to the ENV-114AM with the addition of a single yellow stimulus light at the back of the nose poke opening.

Dimensions: Panel: 3.0” W x 4.875” H (7.6 cm x 12.4 cm)

ENV-313W : Illuminated Nose Poke Response for Mouse
ENV-313M : Illuminated Nose Poke Response for Mouse
This unit includes a yellow LED stimulus light at the back of the access port, and an I/R control, source and detector. The access port measures 0.5" (1.3 cm) in diameter by only 0.4" (1.0 cm) deep. Entry of the animal’s nose 0.25" (6.4 mm) into this area defines the response. The control amplifier operates on 28 V DC and produces a ground output whenever the beam is broken.

Dimensions:
ENV-313W: 2.355” W x 3.5” H (6.0 cm x 8.9 cm);
ENV-313M: 1.5” W x 3.5” H (3.8 cm x 8.9 cm)

ENV-314W : Triple Cue Nose Poke Response for Mouse
ENV-314M : Triple Cue Nose Poke Response for Mouse
This mouse nose poke module is similar to ENV-313W except the single cue light has been replaced by three small cues 0.2" (5.1 mm) in diameter. The nose poke opening remains the same at 0.5" (1.3 cm) in diameter by only 0.4" (1.0 cm) deep. Entry of the animal’s nose 0.25" (6.4 mm) into this area defines the response. Operating voltage is 28 V DC.

Dimensions:
ENV-313W: 2.355” W x 3.5” H (6.0 cm x 8.9 cm);
ENV-313M: 1.5” W x 3.5” H (3.8 cm x 8.9 cm)

Special Notes: The standard nose-poke operant is quickly becoming a staple fixture in rodent operant conditioning chambers.
