The Lineup

Three products.
One platform.

When you're ready for richer data, our hardware sees what no other system can.
Two instruments, one dataset — by design.

Pricing

Software that's free.
Hardware that's fair.

We believe the cost of instrumentation should never determine the quality of neuroscience. MouseOS carries zero license fees, and our hardware is priced at a fraction of what comparable legacy systems cost — without compromise on data quality or throughput.

The Virtual Labs Hardware Difference

We're turning behavior
upside-down.

Every behavioral hardware system on the market was engineered as a physical apparatus first, with software bolted on afterward. We reversed that approach entirely.

01
Hardware designed for AI

We started with the AI scoring models and designed hardware that gives them exactly the data they need. Camera angles, lighting spectra, and arena geometry are optimized for AI-enabled machine vision — not human observers.

02
Native MouseOS integration

Virtual Labs hardware connects directly to the MouseOS cloud platform. Data flows automatically from apparatus to analysis pipeline without manual file transfers or format conversion.

03
Optics that reject noise in hardware

Our patent-pending cross-polarized NIR optics cancel glare and background in the light path itself — clean, high-contrast signal in any enclosure, any lighting, any assay, before a single line of software runs.

Your Hardware, Our Software

Already have hardware?
You're ready.

MouseOS is designed to work with the equipment you already have. Whatever camera captured your video — overhead or side-view, visible light or infrared, scientific or consumer-grade — if it's video of a rodent, MouseOS can analyze it. Drop in modern AI analysis without replacing a single piece of equipment.

Start for free today. Upload your existing footage — including years of archived recordings — and extract measures your original software never reported.

Own Your Pipeline

Your lab. Your data.
Shared platform.

Bringing behavioral phenotyping in-house changes what a discovery program can do. Here's what you gain when the instrument, the data, and the expertise live in your lab.

IP Protection
Compound structures, dose ranges, and screening results are among your most sensitive assets. With in-house hardware and MouseOS, they never leave your organization unless you choose to share them.
Iteration Speed
In-house experiments run on your schedule — run a study Monday, have results Tuesday, adjust your chemistry and re-screen by Thursday. The feedback loop that drives drug discovery closes faster when you own the instrument.
Institutional Capability
In-house platforms build internal knowledge, train your team, and generate a longitudinal, consistently-collected dataset that compounds in value with every study you run.
Cost Structure
Virtual Labs hardware is a one-time capital expense at a fraction of legacy system pricing, and MouseOS software is free. At screening volumes, the economics of owning the instrument change completely — in your favor.
