DESCRIPTION
Environmental Control Cabinet Integrated with Promethion Core
The CAB-8 and CAB-16 cabinets provide temperature and light control for Promethion Core rodent, metabolism and behavioral phenotyping systems. The CAB-8 is a single door configuration for 8 mouse cages or 4 rat cages. The CAB-16 is a two-door configuration for 16 mouse cages or 8 rat cages. The cabinets can house 33% more mouse cages than other systems.
The cabinets can be programmed to meet a wide range of experimental requirements with up to 100 changes in temperature and light intensity over the course of a study. Control and monitoring are available remotely or via the front-mounted 7” color touch screen display, allowing convenient device operation and information handling. Air and communication lines have dedicated internal connections to each cage, removing the likelihood of setup errors. Pull-out shelving provides easy experiment workflow: simple setup, quick access to rodents during an experiment, and simple removal for cleaning.
With Good Laboratory Practice in mind, the environmental cabinet event registry records user access (door opening/closing), cabinet light and temperature variation, system errors, and operator notes. User administration and pass protected login prevent unauthorized access. The system will alarm and provide email notification in event of error, assuring animal welfare compliance and adherence to the experimental design.

The Promethion Core CGF (gas analyzers, air pumps, and computer) is side mounted on the cabinets for easy access and minimal system footprint. The Promethion Core Environmental Sensor Array (ESA) can be placed in the cabinet and will monitor the cabinet temperature, light, humidity, barometric pressure, and door opening while seamlessly integrating the data with the metabolic and behavioral data. The Promethion data can be securely accessed via wired or wireless Ethernet from the web based Promethion Live software.
