With our technology using mirrors, the subjects are in direct observation, avoiding distortion and heating up issues as other systems do. Our robust system has been designed to get the most accurate and sharpest image possible, from well to well.

Currently hundreds of laboratories have trusted their data to ZebraBox for their zebrafish behavior research. Backed by decades of proven engineering, renowned researchers have been using it in all sorts of behavioral applications demanding high reliability.

We offer a wide range of add-ons developed specifically with researchers focused on a particular field and keep on upgrading our solutions.

The ZebraBox has been the first zebrafish tracking system to be commercialized. We developed 4 versions of the ZebraBox, pushing the limits, with the most innovative technologies.  Our goal is always to improve automation tools with the minimum configuration, balanced with a high level of customization. Find the protocol of the most famous scientist in the world and replicate it on your own ZebraBox.

Thanks to our unique design, the ZebraBox does not heat the temperature inside the micro-plate. Temperature control unit is not required for a short term assays. Our system keeps an optimal environment inside the box, without warming up the microplate or getting humidity or steam.  We encourage our researchers to consider the temperature control for a long term experiment and if the room conditions are far from the Zebrafish lifestyle conditions. A thermal regulation stimuli option has been developed in order to assess the behavioral response after a temperature change (cooling/heating shock) or simply to maintain a desired temperature. Thermal change sequences can be directly controlled via our ZebraLab software.

Viewpoint offers both solutions, a general activity based on pixel changes and a tracking and detection of the gravity center of each animal frame to frame. Those methods are the most accurate on the market.

Viewpoint keeps improving its technology giving you access to the best high quality camera according to your application. We offer a wide range of setups from 30 fps to 1000 fps with different resolutions to fit exactly your expectations.

Animal movement tracking reliability is the main purpose of our equipment. Our InfraRed backlight allows us to perfectly detect movements on embryos/larvae or adults with the most respectful wavelength.

Our software ZebraLab will generate different output files, trajectory pictures, raw data (x;y coordinates for each animal, for each image), and of course a video. We are using a low compression rate, to give you the best quality as possible if you need to score manually or even replay it into our software. This compression ratio is flexible and can be adjusted to your needs! Additional storage is available on demand.

Controlling the environmental conditions is key to success. The ZebraBox is made of a special alloy which restricts external sounds from disturbing the analyzed subjects. Controlling and repeating specific conditions (light/sound/number of plates) has never been easier.

Tracking is better when offering the possibility to record your experiment live when your organisms are ready to be monitored. The ZebraBox system allows you to analyze up to 288 individuals simultaneously. We also give the opportunity to record the experiment (avi format video) to make you able to re-analyze the video. It can be pertinent to analyze the raw file with different parameters or to have an experiment back up in case of the live tracking parameter were wrongly set by a user. Your organisms are never tracked in vain. 

Our ZebraBox offers a wide range of stimulations modules : sound stimulation, optogenetic top light, visual screen and may others. Our ZebraBox design and technical specificities gives us the possibility to adapt, create new stimulation modules based on user requests and expectations.
