Research applications for DanioVision

Zebrafish are used as research models in a great variety of fields. From embryos to adults, they have found their way into many labs. DanioVision is the ideal environment to track larval to juvenile fish.

Below you can find some of the applications DanioVision has been used for. If you want to know more about a specific validation, feel free to contact us.

Applications of DanioVision

Drug Discovery

Drug Discovery

Zebrafish offer a genetically and physiologically relevant model to study disease mechanisms and screen candidate compounds. DanioVision enables high-throughput, multi-well tracking with integrated light and vibration stimuli for standardized assays.

Toxicology

Toxicology

Toxicology examines how environmental or chemical exposures affect organism health. Run repeatable light/dark and LPR assays to detect subtle changes in movement, arousal, and non-associative learning.

Circadian rhythmicity

Circadian rhythmicity

Many behaviors follow day–night cycles, and disruptions can signal changes in neural and metabolic function. Program precise light cycles and capture long-term recordings with phase-based segmentation.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy

Zebrafish larvae model genetic and chemically induced seizures. Use controlled stimuli and sensitive tracking to quantify burst activity, bout structure, and stereotypies.

Anxiety research

Anxiety research

The zebrafish startle reflex is a conserved defensive response. Deliver precise taps or light cues and measure latency, magnitude, and decay over repeated presentations.

Visual responsiveness

Visual responsiveness

Assays like larval photomotor response (LPR) and phototaxis probe visual pathways and sensorimotor integration. Control light color, intensity, and timing to evoke reliable responses.

Movement disorders

Movement disorders

Zebrafish models help interrogate motor control deficits relevant to neurodegenerative and developmental conditions. Obtain continuous locomotor and postural metrics under controlled stimuli.

Social preference

Social preference

Zebrafish shoaling behavior has often been tested in adult zebrafish. However, juvenile fish can also show social interaction. DanioVision offers a standardized environment for measuring zebrafish behavior.

Optogenetics

Optogenetics

Zebrafish larvae are naturally transparent, making them ideal for light-based manipulation of neural circuits. The Optogenetics Add-on delivers precise colors, intensities, and patterns, fully synchronized with behavioral tracking.
