The catalog is organized around three research domains: metabolism, neuroscience and behavior, and exercise. Oxymax-CLAMS cages gather several physiological and behavioral parameters automatically and non-invasively over 24-hour runs, while the Opto-Varimex-5 with Auto-Track resolves locomotor activity, stereotypic movement, vertical movement, and path. Narrower apparatus addresses specific deficits: the Foot Misplacement Apparatus measures neurological conditions and Rota-Count records full and partial turning motions across multiple stations. A separate environmental line built around the Micro-Oxymax respirometer serves laboratories studying biodegradation, bioremediation, clean energy, insect respiration, and toxicity. Everything is engineered and manufactured by in-house teams, and the company reports citations in more than 5,000 published papers since it began delivering results in 1970. Product pages are indexed by application, among them ALS, cachexia, sarcopenia, Rett syndrome, and spinal cord injury.
