When an animal is placed on cold glass, its reaction time may be slower. This unique system offers a heated glass option that prevents the glass enclosure from acting as a heat sink, giving a more accurate reading. An optional tail temperature monitor can also be selected for use with the Tail Flick meter. This option actually preheats the tail before experimentation. Once the preset tail temperature is reached, the test and timer automatically begin. A glass stand is also available in two sizes for large group studies.
