Description Of Metabolic Cage – Basic model, separates rodent’s urine & faeces

Simple system, untainted samples, undisturbed rodents

Carefully engineered metabolic cages, manufactured by Tecniplast. There is no urine wash over and no potential for urine to enter the feces tube. Separation is immediate and complete.
All components below the cage floor are removable without disturbing or upsetting the test animals, thus preventing behavioral artifacts. Easy to remove feeder drawer. Unlock collection tubes with a single twist.
Designed for simplicity of operation and total part interchangeability.
High quality materials for low adherence and durability.
Practical with few pieces to assemble the cage. All components can be easily washed and autoclaved.
Flexibility for housing rodents. By changing just a few components (feeders and floor grids), the cage is adaptable to house animals of different sizes/weights.
Four models are available for either rats or mice. Dimensions comply with current USA animal welfare regulations. Each cage comprises:
- Upper Chamber, made of smooth, gnaw-proof materials, a Feeder Chamber, located outside the cage. Size discourages rodent nesting or sleeping inside. The drawer slides out for easy filling without disturbing the animal
- Collection funnel and separating cone, unique design and non-wetting PMP ensure immediate, complete separation of feces and urine
- Feces Collection tube made of non-wetting PMP. Pellets roll down the side of the funnel to be collected in the tube. Unlocks with single twist from outside of cage, without disturbing the animal
- Support grid of stainless-steel lets excreta pass through the conveniently spaced bars. Mouse cage includes mouse-sized grid
Optional 12-Cage rack saves space with small footprint, maximizing density.
