Core offering

Stoelting manufactures and supplies scientific instruments for physiological, psychological, and psychophysiological research across four primary divisions: Neuroscience Instruments (stereotaxic instruments, surgical tools, anesthesia systems, behavior and pain assessment equipment, histology products, pumps and injectors), Psychological Testing (validated assessment materials for licensed professionals), Polygraph Instruments (lie detection instruments, sensors, and training), and ANY-maze (video tracking software for automated behavioral analysis). Products are sold to research institutions, universities, licensed psychologists, polygraph examiners, and pharmaceutical/biotech companies globally through direct sales and exclusive regional distributors in Europe, China, Korea, India, and Japan.

Product overview

Stoelting Co. is a manufacturer of physiological, psychological, and psychophysiological measurement instruments organized into four divisions: Neuroscience/Instruments, Psychological Testing, Polygraph Instruments, and ANY-maze software. The Neuroscience Instruments division provides stereotaxic instruments, surgical tools, anesthesia systems, physiological monitoring equipment, behavior and pain assessment products, histology equipment, pumps and injectors, animal identification systems, and laboratory support equipment. The Psychological Testing division offers assessments across achievement/academic disorders, autism spectrum, clinical, intellectual/cognitive, neuropsychological, substance use/addiction, and visual/auditory/speech categories. The Polygraph Instruments division supplies instruments, sensors, software, and systems along with examiner training. The ANY-maze division provides video tracking software and compatible mazes, test apparatuses, and connected devices for automated behavioral research. Ugo Basile branded products are also distributed through the company.
