Thank you for your purchase of Librae 

Incapacitance Tester for measuring hind paw 

weight distribution using the most widely 

used method (>1,500 citations). 

Your new instrument is designed with latest 

technologies to provide researchers with 

important features and benefits:

•  Touch screen with Autostart button 

lets scientists set, control and manage 

instrument data quickly and seamlessly. 

•  The supplied USB key stores data for 

optimal portability (average paw weight, 

Standard Deviation, L/R ratio, etc....). 

•  The Left/Right weight histograms and 

scatter charts display experiment output 

for monitring data trends in real time.

• 

•  Reliable data: high quality force sensor 

(0.1g resolution) is easily calibrated using 

the reference weight supplied. 

•  There are no screws or protruding parts 

that may interfere with animal comfort, 

maximising experiment repeatability.  

•  After each test, results can be stored 

or discarded. Experiment data can be 

transferred to PC spreadsheets such as 

Microsoft Excel.  

•  Magnetic foot pads can be easily detached  

for fast cleaning within seconds.
