Gnotobiotic Transport Cage

An innovative solution to Germ-Free Animal Transport.

Introducing our new, reusable, fully autoclavable, Gnotobiotic & Transport cage. The cage can withstand temperatures up to 132°C, ensuring sterility when transferring animals out of an isolator.

With space for up to 3 animals, the cage allows you to transport the animals safely to the lab; or even ship them to another facility. While still small enough to fit into most ports or transfer hatches. This makes the transferring of animals, easier and safer. The filter lid, fitted with DW4 Filter Media, allows sufficient airflow too; so the only time limitation is the water requirements for the animals inside.

Our adhesive closure creates an air-tight seal, which allows for sterile import into another isolator. When in place, the seal allows for the complete cage to be sprayed with even the most aggressive sterilizing agents.

To ensure a good seal, and to prevent any cross-contamination, the seals are single-use only. The cage and lid itself, however, are reusable. Which makes the whole system a more cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative to other, plastic methods. The DW4 Filter Media, is easy to replace, adding longevity to the cage.
