Why should you choose Noldus HCM

Rack of PhenoTyper units with computer
  • 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

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 knowlegde 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
