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.

Standard Rat 5/9 hole Test Chamber
Standard 5/9 hole Test Chamber with ambulatory photobeams, white noise distraction and dimming functions built in.
Mouse Modular Test Chamber – NS
Featuring the high quality design, material and construction details as the standard rat modular chambers except smaller in size. Comes equipped with a perforated stainless steel non-shock floor.
Living Chamber for 80850S/80850MS Activity Wheel
This clear polycarbonate living chamber attaches to the activity wheel via a SS tunnel. Guillotine doors on the wheel and chamber may be used to restrict animal movement and prevent accidental escape.
Rat Staircase
This staircase apparatus provides a simple, efficient and easy way to quantify the testing of skilled paw reaching for the rat.
Mouse Staircase
This staircase apparatus provides a simple, efficient and easy way to quantify the testing of skilled paw reaching for the mouse.
Visual Patching and Imaging Chamber
Consists of an aluminium heat exchanger plate heated by a thin heating element. The heat exchanger supplies concentric heat to the chamber itself and in-line heat to the incoming perfusate ensuring both are heated [...]
