Introducing VivaMARS!

Leverage this mobile activity rack to measure locomotor activity, stereotypic movements, anxiety, and exploration behaviors.

With VivaMARS you can:

• Capture all minor movements, therapeutic effects, and adverse events with precise IR sensor spacing for optimal resolution and reliability
• Increase your experimental capacity and complete more studies in less time
• Modular, portable system design for both mice and rats
• Save time by removing the need for extra cleaning or time for a home cage switch

VivaMARS leverages the power of Ponemah software for easy integration with other physiologic data collected.

Additional Highlights

New From Harvard Bioscience!

With Mesh MEA from Multi Channel Systems, you can generate true-to-life recordings from inside an organoid without impacting its morphology for the first time. Mesh MEA launches in 2025, but a limited number of systems are available now. Contact MCS to learn how you can prepare to receive the first Mesh MEAs as they become available.
