Finding Your System Finding Your System Finding your system starts with a few basic questions. Review the following guide to find your perfect fit. Need assistance? Our Customer Care Team is happy to help - just give us a call. 1. Who is performing the Euthanasia? Animal Care Staff Animal care staff gather home cages with food and water to deliver them to centralized locations. Cages would remain unaffected until optimal numbers are reached for an efficient euthanasia cycle. Research Staff Research staff would utilize a lab control or manual unit for quicker procedures and smaller quantities....

4. How many cages processed per hour?* *Based on standard shoebox mouse cage containing adults. Now that you have determined your system features and capacities, you need to find out how your CO2 will be delivered - a house gas source or a cylinder. In order for gas to flow, there are different connections for house or cylinder sources that require specific accessories. See below and pages 26-29 for more information or contact our Customer Care Team. House Gas House gas is supplied from a centralized location - no CO2 cylinders are present in the lab. With our larger SMARTBOX® systems, you must...

Most Advanced - Simple to Use Auto CO2 vs. Manual Euthanasia Twelve years ago, Euthanex introduced and patented our exclusive SMARTBOX Automated CO2 system, which revolutionized large scale, humane small animal euthanasia. SMARTBOX, the most advanced, yet easiest to use system, takes the guesswork out of the euthanasia process. Am I following the current American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) guidelines? What flow rate do I need to be at to be AVMA compliant? How long do I need to expose the animals to CO2 to avoid secondary kill methods? Are my technicians operating in a safe environment?...

Variable Flow Rack Systems The MSVF-4 and MSVF-8 Multi-Level Rack Systems are the most advanced and versatile large-scale automated CO2 delivery systems in the industry. They offer four separate gas levels that are controlled independently. Specific species can be designated for a single level or any combination of levels. Tiers can be programmed and cycles started while other levels are in use. The MSVF systems increase flexibility to maximize operating efficiency. The MSVF-4 and MSVF-8 automate a three-stage euthanasia cycle by controlling flow rate and timing variables. At the start of the...
