Better Pain Assays. Faster Drug Development.
Helping you run faster, more accurate, and reliable mechanosensory research.
Problem
Traditional methods like Von Frey filaments lack consistency—slowing research and innovation.
- Manual Delivery Methods
- Inconsistent and reliant on researcher skill.
- Extensive Training Requirements
- Demands over six months of training for proficiency.
- Inherent Variability
- Results vary between researchers and labs.
- Experimenter Influence
- Experimenter presence can significantly impact outcomes.
- Limited Measurement Capabilities
- Current tools fail in assessing hyperalgesia or affective pain.
Solution
We develop innovative tools for studying mechanical touch and pain in animals.
The ARM (Automated Reproducible Mechano-Stimulator) is the first device capable of conducting remote mechanosensory assays with unmatched consistency. We automate testing and analyses, enabling you to focus on new experiments and discoveries.
Benefits of the ARM
End-to-end automation of pre-clinical pain assays.
Automation of stimulus delivery.
From stimulus delivery to data analysis, ARM streamlines your research with impeccable automation.
Targeting is 15x more accurate.
Achieve unparalleled accuracy, ARM is 15x more precise than conventional techniques.
Integrates stimulus, behavioral and brain imaging data.
Seamlessly combines stimulus, behavioral responses, and brain imaging data for comprehensive insights.
Eliminates human error and bias.
Eliminates human error, subjective bias, and effects of experimenter presence to ensure data integrity.
