What we do
Pallidus Sensing develops smart sensors for rodent home-cages, to collect scientific data and improve animal care
The wireless MR1 sensor detects temperature, light levels, humidity, and rodent activity from individual cages and displays data in real-time on a beautiful cloud dashboard.
Why monitor rodents in their homecages?
Improve animal care
Identifying disruptions in the home cage environment can improve animal care.
Improve reproducibility
Ensuring a consistent home-cage environment can improve scientific reproducibility
Understand the housing environment
Changes in the home-cage environment can influence metabolism, behavior, and disease progression. The MR1 allows you to easily track the home-cage environment.
Monitor circadian rhythms
The MR1 allows you to easily measure circadian rhythms in rodent activity, and verify that facility lighting cycles are accurate
How do I get started?
Purchase a starter kit and as many additional sensors as you need. We'll ship you ready-to-use sensors and manage the cloud server, database, and dashboard for you. Just clip your MR1 sensors into your cages and start collecting data!
