Brand: Plantar Test (Hargreaves' Method) Analgesia Meters Harvard Apparatus
Type: Equipment
Type: Equipment
Equipment designed to perform analgesia measurements using the plantar test of the Hargreaves method. The hind leg of rodents is stimulated with radiant heat, through a glass pane, using the plantar part as the surface to be irradiated.
