Noldus HomeCageMonitoring
The Pharmaceutical industy is in a growing need of a scalable, reliable and continuous behavioral monitoring system. With Noldus HomeCageMonitoring you can:
- Obtain high quality and rich behavioral data
- Measure behavior from minutes to days in a standardized environment
- Easily perform a variety of tests in a social context
Why should you choose Noldus HCM
- Longitudal behavior scoring: Reveal subtle behavioral changes that may not be apparant in classical tests
- Validated and reproducible data: HCM is a proven solution that is standardized and validated by years of publications
- High througput system: Perform multiple automated tests simulteanously. This lowers variability between experiments
- Stress free environment: Less stress means higher quality results. HCM minimizes novelty and handling
- Start to finish guidance: Our PhD-level experts are here to assist you at every step of your research
Used in over 500 labs and more than 700 publications
Designed for impactful research
Used by labs world wide
Noldus HCM has been used for decades in over 500 labs. Its components EthoVision XT® and PhenoTyper are the gold standard in behaviroral observations.
Automated research pipeline
With HCM your whole system is automated. Not only does this allow you to use your time more efficiently, it decreases bias and increases throughput.
Supported by behavioral experts
From scientific advice, to extensive onboarding, and knowledge sharing. We make sure that you get the most out of your research from start to finish.
Easily publish your research
With HCM you can easily incorporate social context in your experiments. This coupled with the track record this system has garnered over the years makes publishing a breeze.
One setup, multiple tests
Noldus HCM can be used for a great variety of tests. From classical tests like open field and novel object recognition, to complex setups like optogenetics and advanced learning paradigms.
- Long & short term: Whether you need to observe your animal for minutes or days, HCM accomodates both within one familiar environment.
- Social context testing: All these tests can be performed within a social context. Not only is it often an ethical requirement, it creates a more translational relevant setup.
- Versatile but constant: While the test may change, the testing environment doesn't. This ensures continuity across different tests within and outside your lab.
Enhance your research with Noldus HCM
GLP Compliant
Many Experiments within the pharmaceutical sector require tests to be compliant with Good Lab Practices. With EthoVision XT's GLP module you can track actions taken within the software, ensuring data integrity and auditability. Allowing you to be compliant with 21 CFR Part 11.
Turn-key system
Noldus HCM is easy to learn and use. For most conventional tests there are templates that you can use to get started quickly. Furthermore, HCM makes handling your animals easy. Lastly, with Noldus Academy your whole team can get aquainted with the workflows in a fraction of time.
Scalable and standardized
Your setup can have anywhere from 1 to 64 cages running simulteanously. This allow you to drastically increase throughput and decrease variability between tests in your lab and with others.
Third-party integrations
With the modular top unit you can accomodate a variety of modules like buzzers, light spots and microphones. But you can also incorporate and control third-party equipment to your setup.
