Anxiety and Activity Tests – Light Dark Box

Light Dark Box is commonly utilized to phenotype new disease models at InnoSer

Key Research Model Applications of Light Dark Box

In the Light Dark Box (LDB) test, mice are introduced into the dark compartment of the box. After a short delay, motorized doors provide the mice access to an identically sized, but brightly lit compartment of the box. The LDB was used for the characterization of commonly used inbred strains by our scientists (Loos et al. 2009), as well as numerous disease models.
