Daniovision observational chamber

Manufactured by Noldus

The DanioVision Observational Chamber is a lab equipment product designed for the observation and tracking of small aquatic organisms, such as zebrafish (Danio rerio). The chamber provides a controlled environment for housing and monitoring the behavioral activities of these model organisms.

Larval Rhythms: Tracking Behavioral Patterns

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Developmentally exposed larvae were raised in a dark incubator without a 14:10 light:dark cycle. Following the end of exposure, 5 dpf larvae in the absence of the drug were individually placed in a 96-well plate, pseudo-randomized by treatment, and left in the light for 5 h. The plate was then moved to a DanioVision Observational Chamber (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands) where fish movement was recorded over 59 h under different light conditions: 3 h light; 54 h dark; 2 h light. Distance traveled by larvae during the assay was recorded using Ethovision XT software (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands) and the data were output in 1-min time bins for analysis. Periodicity was assessed using the R package DiscoRhythm (43 (link)).

Larval Zebrafish Locomotion Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were performed between 1 and 6 p.m. Behavior was assessed at 5 dpf in the presence of the drug, or at 6 dpf, in the absence of the drug, 24 h after the end of the exposure. Larvae were individually placed in 96-well plates, pseudo-randomized by drug treatment, and allowed to acclimate for 30 min. After this period, the plate was placed inside a DanioVision Observational Chamber (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands). Larval locomotion was recorded during alternating light/dark periods: 10 min in the dark (infrared conditions), which was used as a baseline; 10 min in the light; 10 min in the dark; 1 min in the light; 10 min in the dark. Distance traveled was recorded using Ethovision XT software (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands) and data were output in 10 and 1 s time bins for analysis. Larvae were culled after behavioral experimentation.

Acoustic Startle Response in Zebrafish Larvae

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Acoustic startle was performed as described previously (40 (link)) with minor modifications. Experiments were performed between 1 and 6 p.m. Behavior was assessed at 5 dpf in the presence of the drug, or at 6 dpf, in the absence of the drug, 24 h after the end of the exposure. Larvae were individually placed in 96-well plates, pseudo-randomized by drug treatment, and allowed to acclimate for 30 min. After this period, the plate was moved to a DanioVision Observational Chamber (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands) where, following a 2-min acclimatization period, larval movement was recorded. Following an initial 1 min baseline period, larvae were subjected to 25 sound/vibration stimuli with 2 s inter-stimulus intervals. The distance traveled was recorded using Ethovision XT software (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands), and data were output in 1 s time bins.

Circadian Behavior Assay for Larval Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Developmentally exposed larvae were raised in a dark incubator without a 14:10 light:dark cycle. Following the end of exposure, 5 dpf larvae in the absence of the drug were individually placed in a 96-well plate, pseudo-randomized by treatment, and allowed to acclimate in the light for 30 min. The plate was then moved to a DanioVision Observational Chamber (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands) where fish movement was recorded over 16.5 h under different light conditions: 3 h light; 46 min gradual dusk; 10 h dark; 46 min gradual dawn; 2 h light. During gradual dusk, light intensity was decreased by 5% every 2 min until 5% intensity was reached and then every 2 min by 1% until the light went off. During gradual dawn, light intensity was increased every 2 min by 1% until 5% intensity was reached and then by 5% until 100% intensity was reached. Distance traveled by larvae during the assay was recorded using Ethovision XT software (Noldus Information Technology, Wageningen, The Netherlands) and the data were output in 1-min time bins for analysis.

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.
