      Cage T2L (PC)

      Containers made of plastic offer the optimal conditions for keeping animals. The long experience in the development and production makes our containers due to the used materials in shaping and handling to important and indispensable components of modern animal husbandry. As early as the 1960s we had been producing containers made of polycarbonate (PC), especially the best proven Makrolon no. 3108. Polycarbonate is transparent, impact-stable and autoclavable to 121°C. Specifications of the Container T2L are following:

      • external dimensions in mm: 365 x 205 x 140
      • floor area 528 cm²
      • height 14 cm

    • Microisolators

      Microisolators

      The cage and filtertop system has been developed for two purposes:
      To protect animals during transport: By placing a filtertop on the animal cages during any kind of transport, the animals can be protected against contamination from the outside environment.
      To create a microisolator: The cage and filtertop unit can be regarded as a microisolator in which animals can be held temporarily. It is a simple short-time alternative to the complex barrier room system creating the barrier at cage level.

      We offer all basic sizes - type 2, 2L, 3, 3H

      Advantages:

      • No cross contamination from animals of different species in the same room
      • Cages can be moved safely from the LF bench to other areas (controlled or not controlled) because the isolation stays intact
      • Infection from personnel is no longer possible
      • Different species can be studied in the same room if necessary
      • Experimental infection with different microbes can be studied in the same room

    • Bottles and caps

      Watering caps

      Watering caps (for polycarbonate bottles without screw-thread) are made of stainless steel 1.4301. These types are available:

      - Watering caps with standard closure

      1. TVS
      2. TR 25 - tube length 25mm
      3. TR 40 - tube length 40mm

      - Watering caps with ball closure (for guinea pig and rabbits)

      1. TK 40 - ball closure, tube length 40mm
      2. TK 100 - ball closure, tube length 100mm
      3. TGK 100 - ball closure, curved cap, tube length 100mm
      4. TGK 140 - ball closure, curved cap, tube length 140mm

  • Alzet osmotic pumps

    Osmotic pumps

    ALZET® osmotic pumps are miniature infusion systems that deliver test agents at controlled rates into mice, rats and other laboratory animals. They offer specific advantages over repeated animal dosing by injection or oral gavage, such as:

    • continuous delivery, eliminating peak and trough fluctuations
    • test agent effects develop fully and are easily reproduced, which is particularly advantageous for agents with short half-lives
    • reduction in animal stress that can develop from frequent handling

    Specifications of osmotic pumps we offer are following:
