Animal Cage Change Station

Product Details

An Animal Cage Change Station is a specialized workbench used in laboratory animal facilities to provide a sterile and safe environment for changing animal cages, typically for rodents. It is designed to protect both the animals and the technicians from contaminants and allergens.

Key Features:

• Laminar Airflow: Provides HEPA-filtered, unidirectional airflow to create a sterile environment, reducing the risk of contamination.
• Containment: Protects the user from allergens and potential biohazards during cage changing by containing dust and dander.
• Work Surface: Large, easily cleanable surface, often made of stainless steel, designed to accommodate animal cages and supplies.
• Ergonomics: Height-adjustable features to ensure user comfort and reduce strain during prolonged use.
• Lighting: Well-lit workspace to facilitate visual inspection and ensure thorough cleaning and maintenance.

Applications:

• Animal Husbandry: Ensures a clean and safe environment for transferring animals between cages.
• Microbiological Safety: Protects animals from potential cross-contamination and exposure to pathogens.
• Allergen Control: Minimizes exposure of technicians to animal allergens and dander.
• Research Integrity: Maintains a controlled environment, crucial for the validity of experimental data by preventing contamination.
