Lafayette Life Science offers a range of behavioral neuroscience and physiology chambers and apparatus designed to assess cognitive abilities, sleep cycles, activity, skilled paw reaching and muscle function in rodents up to non‑human primates. Lafayette Instrument solutions include standard and modular operant test chambers built for durability and compatibility with ABET software, sleep fragmentation chambers that provide programmable, controlled sleep‑disruption environments, and activity wheel systems with integrated living chambers for circadian and general activity studies. Modular test chambers from Campden Instruments enable interchangeable components for diverse behavioral paradigms such as novel objection recognition and 5/9 hole tasks. Furthermore, Aurora Scientific apparatus support mechanical testing of muscle tissue, whether it be in x-ray diffraction experiments (XRD) or whole animal function in models of muscle disease or dysfunction. These chambers and apparatus support research areas such as brain trauma, circadian biology, cognition, exercise physiology, neurodegeneration and more.
