LABORATORY ACTOGRAPHIC BENCH FOR CHRONOBIOLOGICAL AND CHRONOPHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES ON ANIMALS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G09B23/28 A01K1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. Laboratory actographic bench plate for chronobiological and chronopharmacological studies on animals comprises a cell, control sensors. Cell is divided into compartments. Bench comprises collection units and information processing unit, control panel, which is part of information processing unit. Each cell compartment contains a feeder with a number of calls sensor, a drinking bowl with a minimum level sensor and a number of calls sensor, a temperature sensor, a vibration sensor, as well as a light exposure module. Collection units and the information processing unit contain microcontrollers. In the information processing unit, one of the outputs of the microcontroller is connected to the data medium, the other output is connected to the communication module, the third input/output of the microcontroller is connected to the control panel, the fourth output is connected to the nonvolatile real-time clock. One of the inputs is connected to the output of the DC source, one of the input/output lines is a communication interface, to which the information collection units of each compartment are connected. In each unit of information collection one of inputs of microcontroller is connected to one of inputs of microcontroller vibration sensor output, data medium and non-volatile real-time clock, to the other input module of light action, sensors of feeder, drinkers and temperature are connected.

EFFECT: providing a bench, in which a complete assessment of animal behavior during biomedical research in real time, namely frequency of drinker, feeder, its motor activity, reaction to light radiation, at that stand is absolutely safe for animal health and is low-cost.
