Field Installations

We transform existing home-cage solutions

to Digital Home-Cage Monitoring

Systems via retrofit.

Our DigiFrame is a plug&play, retrofit solution. Simple to install without tools and based on standardized observation modules (cameras). We developed home cage and rack supplier specific adapters to fit the market leading home cage vendors. We are specialized in delivering remote obervation solutions for nearly all requirements, based on open or ventilated (VC) and standard home cages within the preclinical laboratory environment for rodents.

Field Installation Map

Installation examples

Standardized Observation Units: Own IP and Development, incl. IR filter for 24/7 recording

The standardized Compute Unit can host two home cages and up to four cameras per home cage and is maintenance free.

Observation Units easy to adjust: Simple change of observation area and focus.

IR Light mounted over the filter element: for invisible and diffuse light to monitor 24/7.

Observation Units using standardized HDMI connectors.

Plug & play to ease: installation, service and maintenance.

Adapters for major home-cage vendors available: Easy transformation to DHC.

The iMouse system enables our scientists to monitor experiments remotely for the first time.

Digital data are recorded directly in the home cage and can be shared and processed afterwards. This ensures a holistic monitoring/observation and allows transparency within the research and results become visible, which were not visible due to the previous low observation density.
