Anxiety and Activity Tests – Open Field
Assess the anxiety response in rodent models of neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases
Key Research Model Applications of Open Field Test
The open field test measures changes in activity and anxiety-related behaviour in rodents due to their natural aversion to brightly lit, open areas. Non-anxious mice and rats tend to explore the novel, open white arena. Anxiogenic phenotypes or gross motor function changes can be detected by tracking changes in velocity, the total distance moved or by determining the time spent in the arena centre.

Open Field Sample Data
The Fmr1 KO mouse model shows hyperactivity phenotype during the open field test.
When introduced into anxiogenic brightly lit Open Field, mice will typically start exploring the corners and walls first, and eventually enter the centre.

AAALAC Accreditation
InnoSer has earned the AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to responsible animal care and use. AAALAC International is a nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. Our accreditation is valid for three years, incl. 2023. Read more about the AAALAC accreditation programme here.
Animal Welfare
The 3Rs impact everything from policy and regulatory change to the development and uptake of new technologies and approaches. This is why InnoSer has ongoing commitment and monitoring of these processes. The steps we practice maximize our ability to replace, reduce and refine animal involvement and facilitate our commitment to these principles when it comes to research and drug development.
