Phoenix extends its product offerings in North America to include behavioral assays to evaluate the visual abilities of rodents

BEND, Ore., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Phoenix-Micron, Inc. ("Phoenix"), recognized globally for its leadership in vivo ophthalmic imaging of small animals, is proud to unveil its latest collaboration as the exclusive North American distributor for Striatech products. This partnership expands the Phoenix product offerings to include cutting-edge, reliable, and objective devices to measure the visual abilities of rodents.

Products from Striatech, based in Tübingen, Germany, deliver behavioral assays to evaluate the visual abilities of rodents, judge if a certain disease affects their visual system, and verify if a new treatment approach benefits the animal.

"At Phoenix, we are committed to providing comprehensive tools and technologies to assist vision researchers deepen their understanding of visual systems and develop break-thru diagnostic methods and therapies," comments Scott Carr, CEO, Phoenix. "As we expand our portfolio to include Striatech's products, we're taking another step in our commitment to deliver market leading solutions to our customers that help propel the frontiers of ophthalmic and neurologic research."

The Striatech products that will now be exclusively distributed in North America by Phoenix include:

OptoDrum: A trailblazing instrument that automatically gauges the visual capacities of mice and rats. Employing the optomotor reflex, the OptoDrum ensures swift, reliable, and objective assessments of visual acuity and contrast sensitivity.

Photorefractor: Analyzes the retinal reflection from an eccentric IR light field, capturing automatic measurements of an animal eye's refractive state even when alert.

Keratometer: Through analyzing the reflection of IR LEDs on the corneal surface, the Keratometer offers effortless automatic measurements of the corneal curvature radius in alert lab animals.

DarkAdapt: Revolutionizing the process of dark adaptation, Striatech's "DarkAdapt" box ensures a hassle-free experience for researchers. While being completely light-tight, it emphasizes robust ventilation. This design ensures thorough dark adaptation of experimental animals for extended periods, even in well-lit laboratory environments. It pairs perfectly with the MICRON Image-Guided Focal ERG and MICRON Ganzfeld ERG systems.

"We look forward to working with Phoenix Micron and are convinced that this collaboration will help us to better meet the needs of vision researchers in the US." (Marion Mutter, PhD, Founder & Chief Customer Officer at Striatech)

We have several validated devices available that are used in research worldwide. It is our common goal to continuously develop these devices further, to adapt them to users' needs and to expand our portfolio. As experts we want to provide expert tools to scientists anywhere in the world.
