Self Administration
Packages for Rats

This package consists of our ENV-007CT Extra Tall Modular Rat Operant Chamber with a specially modified top to allow the tether system to exit the chamber. The added height of the ENV-007CT chamber allows extra space that is very helpful when animals are tethered, such as in self-administration work. In addition, we are pleased to offer our new PHM-119 QuickDisconnect™ Drug Delivery Assembly Package. The PHM-119 package contains a high-quality disposable plastic swivel, drug delivery line, metal spring tether, and plastic harness that the animal wears like a vest. All components are connected using luer-lock fixtures, providing ease of use. Other features of our MED-007-CT-B1 package include our workhorse PHM-100 syringe pump with 3.33 RPR motor, two ENV-221M stimulus lights, two ENV-110M fixed response levers, and our ENV-203M 45 mg pellet dispenser, a standard in the industry. An ENV-018MD Deep Extra Tall MDF Sound Attenuating Cubicle provides the extra room necessary to enclose the operant conditioning chamber and drug tether system, keeping the experimental animal isolated from environmental disturbances during an experiment.

Interface, computers and software are sold separately.

This system features the same principle components as our MED-007-CT-B1 package (above), including the extra tall ENV-007CT rat operant conditioning chamber with modified top for self-administration work, PHM-119 Drug Delivery Assembly Package, PHM-100 syringe pump, ENV-221M stimulus lights, and ENV-018MD sound attenuating cubicle. This deluxe package offers the additional feature of having two ENV-112CM retractable response levers.

WE NOW OFFER SEVERAL BASIC PACKAGES FOR ORAL SELF-ADMINISTRATION STUDIES, SUCH AS IN ALCOHOL RESEARCH.

The MED-008-CT-B3 is the package of choice when precision delivery of liquid reinforcers is required. This package features our PHM-100 syringe pumps for liquid reinforcer delivery, offering more precise control over our liquid dipper style delivery system. The MED-008-CT-B3 package consists of our ENV-008 rat modular operant conditioning chamber with the CT top modification, an ENV-215M house light, two ENV-221M stimulus lights, two ENV-110M fixed response levers, and our ENV-203M 45 mg pellet dispenser, a standard in the industry. Oral reinforcer delivery is accomplished using two PHM-100 syringe pumps, PHM-122 drug delivery lines, and an ENV-200R3AM dual cup liquid receptacle. This allows two different liquid reinforces to be delivered. An ENV-018MD Deep Extra Tall MDF Sound Attenuating Cubicle encloses the operant conditioning chamber, keeping the experimental animal isolated from environmental disturbances during an experiment. By featuring the extra tall sound attenuating cubicle and the CT top modification on the ENV-008 chamber, this package allows the possibility of future upgrades to expand the use of this system for intravenous self administration work where the extra room is necessary to accommodate the drug infusion hardware.
