Features

  • Dual incurrent HEPA filtration isolates the research animal from airborne pathogens
  • Excurrent HEPA filter keeps pathogens in the cage
  • Negative pressure airflow ensures pathogens in the cage only exit through the excurrent outlet port and HEPA filters
  • Integrates with Promethion Core metabolic measurement systems
  • Food and water are magnetically attached to the lid simplifying cage cleaning and animal maintenance

DESCRIPTION

Only Sable Systems offers metabolic and behavioral phenotyping systems with a negative pressure pathogen isolation cage, providing HEPA filtration on both incurrent and excurrent air flows to keep microbes contained and researchers safe. The Promethion Isocage is ideal for metabolic and behavioral studies using mice that are germ-free, have a defined gut microbiome, or are immunocompromised. Changes in the gut microbiome may be exclusively quantified with our new, high-resolution methane gas analyzer.

The isocage delivers the same behavioral measurements as our standard cage. It is a Tecniplast Isocage-P equipped with a running wheel and magnetically mounted food hopper, water bottle, and body mass habitat built into the cage lid, simplifying cage cleaning and animal maintenance. The Promethion Isocage connected to the Promethion Core metabolic and behavioral phenotyping system creates a stress-free environment with high air-flow rates, air-flow rates, providing the highest resolution and most accurate measurements.
