Integrated lab system
Animus brings a dedicated capture station, infrared camera and shared lab workspace together. Each station analyzes experiments locally; your team finds its results in one organized interface. The equipment arrives by post; no USB drives to carry between PCs.
Designed around the way research actually works
One integrated lab system
Set up experiments, monitor your stations and manage results from a shared workspace. The capture equipment looks after its own updates.
A dedicated box and infrared camera arrive ready for your lab, built on rugged hardware and checked by us to demanding standards before it ships. On site, it confirms in about a minute that it is ready to record. Each box can run up to two cameras; capture and analysis stay local, with automatic updates to reduce upkeep.
Each experiment keeps the exact setup it ran with. Repeat a study in one click, with the same protocol, treatments and stages. Moved an arena? Put every arena back in place in a few clicks before the next test.
Distance, speed, immobility and time in each zone, per animal. Change a threshold and get new results in seconds, without running the animals again. Treatment groups compared on a chart ready for your lab meeting or your paper, tests from several stations pooled into one study, and a CSV export for your statistics.
Protocols, stations and experiment results are organized for the team in one interface. Pick up an analysis from another PC without passing around USB drives.
A clearer workflow
No more carrying USB drives between capture PCs and analysis desks. Each experiment stays attached to its protocol, results and exports.
Go to your workspace → From delivery to first experiment in three steps →Define your zones, capture settings, and analysis pipeline.
Assign your protocol to a lab station and its camera.
Follow each test live. The station tells you which animal goes next.
Compare your treatment groups, check each track, replay the video of any test, and export your dataset. Every test is sealed when it ends, and you can see who changed a protocol or an animal list, and when.
Long experiments, fewer trips
Open the live view of any station from a browser on your lab network. See that the animals are in frame and the session is still recording, then get back to your work.
A quick look from your desk replaces a walk to the testing room just to make sure everything is still running.
Check the arena from outside instead of gowning up to look through a door.
A shifted camera or an empty arena is visible at a glance, and the station sorts out most glitches on its own, before hours of data are lost.
Built around your model organism
Two model organisms, two very different arenas and two very different kinds of motion. The capture profile, the tracking, and the measures follow the animal rather than a generic template.
Rodents
Open field, elevated plus maze, forced swim, Morris water maze, Y maze, novel object, home cage — position, movement and time in each zone, for every animal.
Set up a rodent protocol →Zebrafish
Well plates, novel tank and open swim arenas — each well or arena followed on its own.
Set up a zebrafish protocol →All our animal models: animal behavior tracking. Rodent tests in detail: video tracking for mice and rats and the open field test.

Equipment included
No PC or camera shopping list. The capture station runs locally and updates automatically; your team works with the consolidated experiment results.
