Engineering

We develop and build research equipment for biological science and neuroscience studies, ranging from small accessories, interface modules to control incompatible devices, to measuring system for metabolic gases and behaviors of animals. We can not only build the open hardware but also design a new product to achieve researcher’s goal efficiently by our engineers specialized in mechanics, electronics, and software.

We have developed new products as listed below in collaboration with scientists:

  • Systems (Instrument and control/acquisition software included)
    • Metabolic chamber system (BLI-MBS01xx) %% link the product page
    • Wisker Stimulating and Reward System (BLI-WS01xx)
    • Operant Conditioning Chamber (BLI-OPC01)
  • Devices and Modules (Hardware with or without control software))
    • uTongue: Microfluidics-based functional imaging platform for Tongue in vivo (BLI-MT0)
    • Automated T-maze (BLI-MZA01xx)
    • Circular Treadmill (BLI-TMC01D/R)
    • Olfactometer (BLI-OF01)
    • Interface and Control Modules (BLI-CI01xx; BLI-VC01xx)
    • Lick-o-meter system (BLI-LM01)
  • Custom parts (Accessaries or consumables)
    • Holders for cannula, ferrule, GRIN lens, microelectrode (BLI-CHE01/ -CHC01/ -CHL01)
    • Headposts for the experiment with awake head fixed mice (BLI-CHP01)
