The IITC Incapacitance Meter is used for test assessment of pain and or inflammation of the hind limbs on mice and rats. It overcomes the drawbacks of other methods that might cause unnecessary stress or subjectivity on the animal. The technique known as dual channel weight averaging enables the test on both limbs allowing a clean stress free correlation to the paw pressure test. Control and testing can be done on the same animal at the same time.

Animals are placed in the supplied holders. Hind limbs rest on the two weight averaging platform pads. As the animal shifts their weight from each pad, the unit records the average weight in grams over a selectable test period of 5 to 999 seconds. Alphanumeric readout displays the weight of both limbs and testing start and stop features. These features are controlled on the front panel: Start, stop, reset.

The standard holder that is supplied is for 180-270 grams. Other sizes are available, the weight of the animal needs to be specified when ordering.
