The Sealsafe® PLUS range of IVC products features a PATENTED cage design, consisting of a soft silicone gasket that protrudes radially all around the cage base rim. The perfect sealing is simply achieved by placing the top on the cage body, through the radial interference between gasket and cage top. Consequently, the vertical compression (commonly provided by the use of latches) of the silicone gasket between cage base and top is not required:
- no latches for the best ergonomics
- no need for latches to achieve excellent containment and high protection
Features:
PROTECTION FOR OPERATORS AND ANIMALS
- PATENTED cage sealing design: optimal seal and protection without need for latches
- Multiple sealed cage: silicon gasketed valves (not invasive to the cage), bottle cap, cage base and filter retainer ensure maximum sealing
- Large Microbiological filter (VFE* ≥ 99.999987%, BFE* ≥ 99.9999937%) at cage level, ensures optimal gas exchange as well as an ideal protection also during procedures or in case of power failure
- DOP tested Air Handling Unit’s HEPA Filters provide high protection against bacteria, viruses and allergens
ANIMAL WELFARE
- Air inlet and outlet valves in the top: no air draft at animal level, avoiding risk of stress and heat loss, as reported in the scientific literature
- Stand-alone Air Handling Unit: Easy, Smart, Sky and Wi Flow provide safe ventilation without transmitting vibrations to the rack, ensuring standardization of the experiment. The system is independently certified by TÜV
ERGONOMICS
- No latches for a faster cage change, while protection is always ensured by the patented cage sealing; ideal for Automation
- Half length wire bar lid: easy access for a quicker cage change, minimizing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders as well as reducing the cage weight
- Great visibility-focused design and Automatic Visual Docking Indicator with Cage Self-Locking
- System to help operators perform a quicker daily check
- External self-centering water bottle: quicker bottle change without removing the cage from the rack
LOW RUNNING COSTS
- Stand-alone air handling unit can manage up to 4 single sided racks (or 2 double-sided): energy saving with lower maintenance costs
- ECM DC-Blowers mean low power consumption and less maintenance
- Quick daily check, easy access to the cage and quicker bottle change mean low labour costs
