sXv_ELF

sXv ELF

 

The sXv-ELF system is designed to expose 2 - 6 exposure coils of 30 cages each to ELF frequencies in the range of DC to ~2 kHz. The design allows unrestrained motion of the rodents inside their cages.
The design can accommodate either exposure and sham or high, low and sham exposure paradigms.
