      Do you restrain awake head-fixed mice in a tube or let them run on a treadmill? Want to let them move in two dimensions – perhaps even navigate a maze – while keeping your familiar head-fixation apparatus? – No problem!

      AirLift Large is a combination of an air table with an ultralightweight floating carbon fiber cage. The system allows achieving full functionality of the Mobile HomeCage while continuing to use your lab’s familiar solution for head-fixing awake mice. For better integration with behavioral research, consider combining the AirLift Large with Neurotar’s magnetic locomotion tracking device.

      Benefits of Neurotar’s air table

      • Enables two-dimensional locomotion during experiments in awake mice;
      • Allows using custom head-fixation solutions instead of Neurotar’s solutions;
      • When combined with the tracking upgrade, allows incorporating locomotion tracking and other behavioral readouts, including maze navigation;
      • Operates from standard laboratory air sources or a portable air pump.
