Sucrose Preference Test (SPT)

The Sucrose Preference Test (SPT) is a simple behavioral test widely used to assess motivation,

Depression (and anhedonia) and related emotional states in rodents.

In SPT test, rodents typically exhibit a natural preference for palatable sweet solutions,

And it is therefore assumed that such preference is correlated with the pleasure an animal experience

When it consumes sucrose. This SPT system features real-time statistics, automation and high accuracy,

which greatly improves the efficiency of drug research and reduces the data bias and error caused by manual operation.

Our SPT system record the total drinking time and times, liquid weight and other indicators in real time in free moving animals,

and multi-channels can be conducted at the same time.

Application: Pharmacology, Pharmacodynamics, Toxicology, Nutrition, Obesity Metabolism, Diabetes, Cardiovascular, Transgenic etc.
