Animal cage changing process

Application

Small Animal Cage Changing

Transferring research animals from one point to another while handling or changing cages can be a trying task -- maintaining sterility of the animal while preventing your own exposure to animal fur, dander, and used bedding materials is always a concern. This difficult feat has been greatly simplified by NuAire's AllerGard Animal Transfer Station and the LabGard Biological Safety Cabinet/Cage Changing Station.
