INDIVIDUALLY VENTILATED CAGES

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document explores the development of Individually Ventilated Cages (IVCs) for rodents, emphasizing their role in fulfilling scientific and practical needs such as health, bio-containment, space efficiency, ergonomics, and welfare for both animals and humans. Tecniplast, a leader in lab animal research, is highlighted for its contributions in this area.
Blue Line Next & Blue Line
The Blue Line Next series is engineered to optimize density, ergonomics, animal welfare, and cost-effectiveness. It features air inlet and outlet valves to minimize stress and heat loss, a stand-alone air handling unit for secure ventilation, and a microbiological filter for optimal gas exchange and protection. Certified by TÜV, it offers ergonomic advantages like excellent visibility and easy operator access.
Green Line
The Sealsafe Plus, or Green Line, is a globally recognized IVC standard known for its protection, ergonomics, and density. It includes a patented cage design with a silicone gasket for optimal sealing without latches, ensuring animal welfare with no air drafts and ergonomic benefits like easy cage changes.
Air Handling Units
Air Handling Units (AHUs) such as Wi Flow, Smart Flow, Easy Flow, and Sky Flow are essential for maintaining stable environments in IVCs. They provide safe ventilation, performance monitoring, and low operational costs, and are compatible with remote monitoring technologies for enhanced control and safety.
Project Management and Support
Tecniplast offers comprehensive project management support from design to implementation, ensuring client satisfaction. Their post-sales service program focuses on preventive maintenance and professional support to ensure long-term functionality and protection.
Specifications and Features
The document details advanced features of AHUs, including power-saving and night modes for reduced costs and minimal animal disturbance. It highlights the Performance Monitoring Device (PMD) for monitoring blower and HEPA filter status, ensuring safe ventilation. The units are accessible via a user-friendly touch screen and compatible with portable device control through the GATEWAY system.
Ventilation and Control Systems
The Sky Flow system offers flexible installation options and configurations, with significant energy savings due to the new DC Electronically Commuted Motor (ECM). It ensures safe and standardized ventilation with DOP-tested HEPA filters, supports wireless control, and provides high monitoring and security features.
Dedicated Solutions
Tecniplast provides dedicated solutions for microbiological environmental monitoring, increased animal housing density, and enhanced animal welfare. The Interceptor system improves microorganism detection, while the Library system increases housing density while maintaining ergonomics. The IVC Transport and Recovery Units ensure controlled environments for animal transport and post-surgical care.
Animal Enrichment and Housing
The document describes enrichment products like the Mouse House, Mouse Mezzanine, and Mouse Pouch Loft, designed to enhance laboratory mice living conditions by encouraging natural behaviors and improving welfare.
Disposable and Flexible Housing Solutions
The SUMC system offers a flexible, disposable housing solution made from recycled plastic, suitable for quarantine and emergency housing, combining the benefits of durable and disposable cages for cost-effective solutions.
Specific Applications
Tecniplast provides specialized IVCs for high-risk biosafety environments, gnotobiotics, germ-free, and immunocompromised animals. The ISOcage systems offer bioexclusion and biocontainment features, ensuring safety and protection for both animals and operators, with features like battery backup and data export capabilities.
Additional Features
The document also highlights features such as the Automatic Visual Docking Indicator for safe cage placement, vibration-free ventilation, low running costs with ECM DC-Blowers, various rack configurations, ideal biocontainment with HEPA filters, ergonomic and flexible modular racks, safety for operators and animals, an Uninterruptible Power System (UPS), and practical use with external water bottles and feeders.
Integrated Solutions
