Disposable Cages for Rodent Transportation

The Innovive disposable Transportation cage allows you to transport your mice in the same cage that they are housed, reducing animals' disturbance. All you need to do is to simply change the lid.

- Maintaining a low-stress and healthy environment for the animals during long- and short- haul transportation

- Discrete and secure rodent caging

- Cost effective transportation solution

Advantages of Innovive Transportation

- Healthy air for the trip of any length - large top filters provide excellent intracage airflow, which allows 5 mice to be housed in the Innocage® up to 7 days.

- Secure Transport cage for mice - the cage's snap top secures your animals during the trip.

- No water or food tray needed - simply add a gel pouch and your animals are ready to go.

- Disposable caging is a cost- effective solution - remove the need to track, return and/or replace expensive traditional rodent cages

Transport Lid - Whether you are moving animals a short or long distance, the Innocage® Transport is a great solution. Simply replace an IVC lid with a transport lid to prepare the animals for relocation. Maintain a complete stock of transport cages for distributing animals from a breeding operation to primary housing areas.

Automated Blood Sampler

Instech's ABS2™ automates the collection of blood samples from laboratory animals. By eliminating labor-intensive manual withdrawals it can streamline drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics research. It can also reduce the stress on animals caused by handling. The sampler withdraws blood from a tethered freely-moving animal according to your programmed schedule, stores the samples in an integrated refrigerated fraction collector, and replaces the withdrawn volumes with IV fluid. You control and monitor sampling schedules, volumes and withdrawal rates for up to twelve animals from a single computer. Unique advantages of the Instech blood sampling system include: Undiluted samples, verified by in-line sensors. A short collection path, to minimize mixing and collection times Less than 5 µL of blood wasted per sample, to minimize hemodilution.

Also available the Color Atlas of Sectional Anatomy of the Mouse

Rats are used to research a wide field including preclinical tests, microbiological research, carcinogenic experiments, neurology, physiology, toxic tests, pharmacological effectiveness tests, etc. Anatomy is one of the important basic sciences and although much progress has been recently made in the field of human imaging diagnosis, information on sectional anatomy of experimental animals is lacking at present. We have been carrying out studies along this line in order to publish an atlas using experimental rats. Cut sections were prepared serially at about 1-3mm intervals (sagittal, dorsal and transverse sections). The specimens were not fixed but kept in a frozen state so that photographic information close to the living state could be obtained.

All photographs are in color, and enlarged (A4 version) for detailed observation. This atlas provides macro-anatomical photographs making the sectional atlas more comprehensible.

Motorized Lab Standard Stereotaxic

The Motorized Lab Standard Stereotaxic combines the classic design of our time-proven ‘U’-Frame with customized motors and state-of-the-art software. Designed to adapt conventional stereotaxic systems, the StereoDrive software allows motorized, computer controlled stereotaxic positioning in all 3 orthogonal axes. Integrated with Paxinos and Watson’s Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, for either rat or mouse, the intuitive movement control enables unprecedented accuracy and higher throughput in all stereotaxic applications.

7000smz Microtome / Vibratome

Our top of the range high precision, vibrating microtome, this is the finest slicer in the world for preparations for visual patch clamping. Cold light and scope or magnifier are optional. Sectioning for visual patching of neurological tissue, heart and lung have all been published on the previous generation of Integraslice machine from which the 7000smz represents a significant advance in higher precision AND lower cost. The all-new user interface is easy and versatile (no foot switch unlike previous models) and offers simple operation at the push of a button or a range of changeable parameters for the expert user. The 7000smz also gives you longevity of performance, in other words it not only gives sub-micron performance out of the box, but the advance vibrating mechanism does not contain bearings and other elements subject to wear. Thus it will retain the sub-micron z-ad performance for years to come, giving you consistency in your biological preparation. Cooling is by either an ice-water bath or an electronically controller thermo-electric cooler. Other options include the LED cold light and magnifier or scope for clear observation whilst slicing.

The new legato 200 series is the next generation of syringe pumps

Three basic models ensure the right pump for your application. Infuse only, Infuse and withdraw and Push pull. Each of these pumps is available in a programmable version for maximum flexibility and capability. Each of the basic models work with one syringe or two and can be reconfigured in the field to use with multiple syringes. The Legato 200 series offers unparalleled ease of use through the high resolution color touch screen user interface. The full touch screen interface enables the user to quickly create configurations and recall them for easy use. The 4.3” TFT color display with touch pad interface presents all the pump operating parameters on one easy to view run screen. Protective cover over the display prevents leakage into the display. Using gloves is no problem with Legato’s resistive touch screen. The Legato Series optimizes your lab bench space. For limited laboratory space the Legato 200 Series can be placed on its side to reduce the footprint by 4 Times. The footprint is only 3.5 in x 9.75 in. The display also tilts with the change to allow the user operate the pump vertically.

Plastic Feeding Tubes for Rats and Mice

Plastic rodent feeding needles reduce the risk of trauma and provide a simple, low cost, disposable solution for oral gavage. These feeding tubes feature medical grade materials to minimize the risk of interactions with test compounds. The tube is constructed of polypropylene, the same material used in plastic syringes. The soft, bulb-shaped tip is fabricated from medical grade silicone and is designed to prevent inadvertent placement in the trachea and reduce the risk of trauma and perforation.

The feeding tubes are available in a variety of diameters and lengths for use in most small laboratory animals.
