Manufactured by Trikinetics
The Activity Monitoring System is a lab equipment designed to track and record activity patterns. It utilizes sensors to detect and measure various types of movements or behaviors. The core function of this system is to provide quantitative data on activity levels without making interpretations or extrapolations about its intended use.

To quantify drug-induced activity, 2–5 day old male flies were placed in an activity monitoring system (TriKinetics). This system contains an infrared beam that passes through the midline of 65-mm long tubes, and photobeam breaks are cumulatively recorded by a computer at 10 minute bins. Methamphetamine (3 and 6 mg/ml) or caffeine (50 mM) was mixed with 2% agarose and 5% sucrose, and the activity of individual flies was monitored continuously for up to 8 days. Death was recorded at the time locomotion was no longer detected.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
