Clever Sys offers a highly versatile and customizable range of software options for the analysis of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) behavior in both adults and larvae.
AquaScan provides single/Multiple organisms tracking along with TTL control for stimulus delivery.
Behavior can be analyzed for single organism, multiple fish, or for groups, like fish activities, animal traces, shoaling statistics, group behavior statistics, zone-revelant behaviors, etc .
It can be used for traditional and specialized paradigms such as: Open field, CPP, T-maze, Y-Maze, Fear Conditioning, Fear Response (predatory), Seizure, Locomotion, Photoaxis tests, Optokinetic tests, Shoaling and Social Behavior Test.

CSI-CPP-ZF
The CSI-CPP-ZF Apparatus has been specially designed for Zebrafish tests of conditioned place preference or self administration studies.
The device has 3 lanes with removable doors some of which have holes designed to close off or allow free passage of animals in between sections of the chamber.
The CPP chamber is made of clear acrylic to optimize video observation and to allow ambient backlighting for superior tracking.
ZebraEnv
Our ZebraEnv is a newly designed Zebrafish Larvae analysis chamber system that includes state-of-the-art features for providing a finely controlled environment for larvae behavior analysis.
It contains a high-speed digital camera placed at the top viewing downward at a stage that is back-lit by a dimmable LED light panel whose intensity is capable of being adjusted by the software. The stage comprises a water bath with the ability to insert well-plates of standard size. Up to 96-count well plates can be accommodated.
The salient feature of the stage is a unique vibration-free temperature control system. It uses a vibration free heating element instead of commonly used water-pump based water flow bath that can cause vibration effects on the wells. Our design does not have a water flow that cause vibrations in the wells. This is very critical for zebrafish larvae.
The camera is placed strategically such that it produces distortion free imaging of the outermost wells in a dense well plate
