VeriFEED Pellet Dispenser

Reward variability should be based on your experimental design, not on the performance of your equipment. This method delivers. It has been completely re-invented from the ground up, informed by years of feedback from the field. With multiple design features that ensure reliable delivery and easy maintenance, we are setting the new standard.

NOTE: Pellet feeder includes hopper, motor, 8″ of tubing, and bracket. Modular panel mounts, pedestal stand, and discs sold separately.

HOPPER + MOTOR

• Easy-to-clean hopper snaps to the bracket with magnets, and opens into two separate parts
• Quickly and easily fill, empty, disassemble, and reassemble the hopper without tools
• Compatible with any Med Associates interface
  • One input (to log delivery in Med-PC) and one output (to dispense)
• Alerts Med-PC when hopper runs empty
• An infrared photo-beam detector is located at the entry point, and if pellet presence is not confirmed, it will run through a logic sequence to dispense within 10 seconds
  • No additional coding required

DISC

• Change pellet size by swapping out the hopper disc, no further adjustments necessary
• Variable torque motor and optimized entry port prevents crushing delicate pellets, such as sucrose
• Designed to prevent buildup and minimize breakage

BRACKET

• Can be mounted on any modular panel or placed next to the chamber on a pedestal
• Fits on all standard chambers and SACs for both rat and mouse
