overview

Shuttle Avoidance Test, also call Active Avoidance/Passive Avoidance Test, is common used in neuroscience to assess different forms of fear-based conditioned avoidance learning in rodents.

Active Avoidance Test (also called shuttle box test or automatic reflex conditioner), i.e. learning to predict the occurrence of an aversive event, based on the presentation of a specific stimulus, like sound, light and electricity.

Passive Avoidance Test requires performing a specific behavior in order to escape or avoid the aversive stimulus, represented by mild foot shock.

Features & Benefits

Fully Automated Operation

Software-controlled automated door
Reduces human disturbance for consistent behavioral responses

High-Throughput Test

Supports up to 32 chambers simultaneously
Ideal for cognitive research, learning & memory evaluation, pharmacological screening, etc.

Flexible Multiple Stimuli

Independent sound, light, and shock stimuli

Accurate Behavioral Detection

Independent detection per chamber
Ensures precise measurement of movement and transitions for both Rat and Mouse

GLP-Compliant

Conforms to GLP standard requirements
Provides 3Q certification service

Integrated Multi-Paradigm Software

Shuttle, passive avoidance, and learned helplessness protocols are available and included
Each chamber can run different protocols simultaneously

Advantages

SANS Automated Shuttle Avoidance Box is a flexible system for active avoidance, passive avoidance and learned helplessness experiments. It comes with two independent chamber with grid floors that allow for flexible adverse stimuli. Automatic door is integrated in the chamber for auto opening and closing to reduce the influence of human interaction during the experiment.

A top-loading door allows easy access inside the box. The chamber contains a sound generator and a visual stimulus (light) that functions separately for each compartment. Software be used through PC connection.

Built to meet GLP standards, the SA223 Automated Shuttle Avoidance Test provides accurate behavioral detection, flexible experimental protocol settings, and high-throughput operation—making it ideal for neuroscience, cognitive research, fear conditioning studies, learning/memory evaluation, and pharmacological screening.

Applications

Active Avoidance (Shuttle Test)

Dual-compartment shuttle learning

Conditioned avoidance via sound/light CS and foot-shock US

Measures escape, avoidance, latency, and learning curve

Passive Avoidance

Tests memory retention and inhibitory learning

Measures latency to enter dark/light compartment after previous shock

Learned Helplessness

Models depression-like behavior and cognitive impairment

Records escape failures, shock duration, tone/light signals, intervals

Specifications

Category	Details
