Configured in the classic “+” shape, the maze consists of two open arms, two enclosed arms, and a central platform, providing a standardized environment for assessing anxiety-like behaviors in mice and rats. Researchers can quantify time spent in the open versus closed arms, number of entries, and overall locomotor activity to support studies in neuroscience, pharmacology, and behavioral research.

Constructed for durability and ease of use, SDI’s Elevated Plus Maze features detachable arms that simplify assembly, cleaning, transport, and storage without compromising structural stability. Its modular design makes it ideal for laboratories conducting routine behavioral testing or high-throughput studies.
