Campden Instruments

UK scientific-instrument company (Loughborough, Leicestershire; shares its office and phone line with Lafayette Instrument’s European operation and is listed alongside it as a sister brand). Best known for the Bussey-Saksida rodent touchscreen chambers — the standard commercial apparatus for touchscreen cognitive testing in rats and mice — sold in the US via lafayette-instrument.

Products

  • Second-generation Bussey-Saksida touch screen chambers — rats and mice; trapezoidal non-reflective walls; ultra-sensitive touchscreens detecting all nose-pokes; up to 20 mice on one PC; add-on modules; task library with prewritten programs; validated across strains including transgenic and knockout lines.
  • The chambers anchor the rodent end of the CANTAB translation chain documented on automated-cognitive-testing-devices: complex tasks broken into stepwise-assessed elements so performance is comparable with human CANTAB and Monkey CANTAB (see cantab); 3Rs benefits argued in the accompanying literature.
  • Other product lines: slice electrophysiology, in-vivo electrophysiology, activity monitoring, human psychophysiology.
