Precision tools for in vivo neuroscience
Engineered with exceptional expandability as its core advantage, this system provides researchers with a highly flexible and customizable experimental platform. Designed specifically for exploring the mysteries of the brain and behavior, it empowers research in electrophysiology, optogenetics, two-photon imaging, and VR behavioral studies.
Designed for sleep research, drug development, and neural mechanism exploration. As core equipment for precise animal models, it solves the problem of animals "hugging the pole to rest" during long-term experiments, ensuring deprivation efficiency. Supports Manual, Circadian Rhythm, and EEG Closed-loop Trigger modes.
An essential tool for efficient laboratory research. Designed for in vivo two-photon imaging and electrophysiological recording of anesthetized mice. It solves the challenges of operational convenience and physiological maintenance, improving experimental success rates and data quality through precise temperature control.
An innovative device designed specifically for awake animal experiments. By combining head fixation technology with a low-damping disc locomotion system, it provides an ideal solution for in vivo research on the relationship between brain function and behavior. Supports two-photon imaging, fiber photometry, and electrophysiology.
By perfectly combining physical movement with virtual environmental stimuli, this system builds a precise and controllable experimental platform for neuroscience research. Designed for studying environmental coding, learning and memory, and spatial navigation mechanisms, it provides an unprecedented window for observing real-time brain responses.
Born to meet the rigorous demands of frontier neuroscience experiments. This ideal fixation device ensures smooth experimental workflows and precise data, widely used in awake mouse head-fixed experiments such as two-photon imaging, optogenetic stimulation, and electrophysiological recording.

From abstract concept to functional device
Bridging the gap between engineering and biology
SITRANTECH has been deeply embedded in biomedical research workflows for over five years. We specialize in bridging the gap between biological concepts and engineering reality. Beyond delivering standardized precision instruments—such as our head-fixed treadmills for awake mouse imaging—we provide agile customization services to materialize unique experimental needs. Our mission is to accelerate discovery through precision engineering, transforming abstract innovation into tangible real-world applications.
We embed ourselves within your experimental workflows to co-develop solutions. Beyond a manufacturer, we act as your research partner to solve complex scientific challenges.
Delivering precision mechanics with clean electronic integration (control, I/O, stability). Our systems are engineered to plug-and-play with your existing lab infrastructure.
From concept to prototype in weeks. We accelerate the transition from rough ideas to reliable, scalable instruments, bridging the gap between benchtop experiments and product-level solutions.
Built with safety, stability, and traceability at the core. We help partners align with regulatory requirements early, laying the groundwork for future clinical translation.
Empowering top research institutes
Real stories, proven results
SITRANTECH customized a pupil monitoring system for us. They delivered it in less than three weeks, which allowed us to obtain experimental results within just one week.
We successfully integrated SITRANTECH's head-fixation system with mouse treadmill (disc version) into our two-photon in vivo imaging experiments with awake mice. The system is user-friendly, allowing quick and easy mounting and dismounting of the mice, which significantly enhanced our experimental efficiency.
SITRANTECH customized a laser-based toe pain stimulation system for mice, which works seamlessly with their belt-version mouse treadmill in our two-photon imaging setup. We are now able to clearly observe calcium oscilations in neurons within the sensory cortex that are responsive to peripheral toe stimulation.
Expert guidance & resources
1. Check whether there is residual glue in the head ring slot or groove.
2. Remove any excess glue or debris to ensure a clean contact surface.
3. Re-seat the head ring and tighten the screws firmly and evenly.
To reduce the risk of post-surgical infection, please follow these recommendations:
1. Maintain a controlled surgical environment
- Perform the procedure in a relatively enclosed, low-dust, clean area.
- Minimize unnecessary movement and talking during surgery.
2. Sterilize all instruments and materials
- Autoclave or otherwise sterilize surgical tools before use.
- Use only sterile cotton swabs and sterile saline.
3. Prepare all implants properly
- Clean the glass coverslip and head ring in an ultrasonic cleaner.
- After cleaning, soak them in alcohol and keep them sterile until use.
4. Use anti-inflammatory / antibiotic support as required by your protocol
- After opening the cranial window, administer ketoprofen (analgesic/anti-inflammatory) and gentamicin (antibiotic) according to approved animal care guidelines.
5. Post-operative care
- Keep the animal in a clean recovery area.
- Perform routine local cleaning around the window with sterile saline (do not touch the exposed tissue directly).
- Use daily UV sterilization of the working area and tools between animals to reduce contamination.
If you observe persistent redness, swelling, or discharge around the window, please follow your institutional animal care guidelines or consult veterinary staff for further treatment.
1. Discuss the experimental requirements and customization needs.
2. Design initial project drafts, including mechanical layout, hardware, and control interface.
3. Confirm the customization intent
4. Begin the customization process.
1. Finalize the agreed customization plan.
2. Build and test a prototype, then refine and improve the design.
3. Deliver the device and complete acceptance/inspection.
4. Provide ongoing maintenance and updates.
