Small Animal Cage Changing

NuAire offers small animal cage changing stations and biosafety cabinets designed for the unique workflows of individual vivarium. Built-to-order, veterinary medical directors and facility operation managers may configure an animal transfer station or animal handling biosafety cabinet to secure and efficiently transfer laboratory rodents.

Safe and Effective Animal Transfers

Transferring small research animals during cage changes is a task that requires precision to maintain animal sterility while also protecting technicians from exposure to allergens. NuAire's advanced solutions, including the AllerGard Animal Transfer Stations, Animal Refuse Workstations, and specialized Biological Safety Cabinets, have streamlined this essential process, making it safer and more efficient.

The AllerGard NU-620 Dual-Sided Animal Transfer Station, with its ergonomic features and advanced airflow systems, makes animal transfer nearly effortless. Available in multiple sizes, it includes a hydraulic lift for height adjustment, a 14" access opening on all sides for increased workspace mobility, and bright LED lighting to enhance visibility without generating heat. This unit performs 25 air changes per minute, efficiently removing larger particulates through an intake pre-filter and ensuring a clean environment with supply and exhaust HEPA filters. The dual-sided access design enhances convenience, allowing operation from either side, while an option for a single-sided configuration offers a focused, high-velocity air barrier to prevent contamination.

The AllerGard NU-621 Single-Sided Animal Transfer Station offers enhanced personnel protection with its robust air barrier of 75 fpm. This single-sided configuration is designed to provide a more controlled environment, significantly reducing the risk of allergen exposure. Its focused airflow system, coupled with ergonomic features like adjustable height and LED lighting, ensures the animals' welfare and the technician's comfort during the transfer process.

NuAire's range of biosafety cabinets, including the models NU-677 and the low-profile design of the NU-640, cater to various intensive vivarium uses. The NU-677 offers an expansive workspace with Class II Type A2 biohazard containment, perfect for cage-changing tasks and procedural work. It features unidirectional laminar airflow and HEPA-filtered protection to reduce cross-contamination, ensuring a safe, sterile environment. The NU-640, distinguished by its low-profile design, brings an added layer of versatility to the lab. It is equipped with adjustable features and a large 14" access opening to handle the largest animal rat cages.

In addition to these comprehensive solutions, NuAire introduces the AllerGard NU-608 Animal Refuse Workstation, specifically designed to dispose of animal waste post-cage change. The NU-608 focuses on streamlining the waste disposal process, ensuring a sanitary environment by efficiently managing the byproducts of animal research. Its integration into the workflow underscores NuAire's dedication to creating a holistic approach to vivarium operations, emphasizing cleanliness, safety, and workflow efficiency.

In addition to these predefined solutions, NuAire excels in offering custom solutions tailored to specific laboratory needs. The NU-610, for example, can be customized to integrate seamlessly with existing lab setups, including unique features such as pass-throughs for connecting different airflow solutions or systems for dirty cage collection. This flexibility allows laboratories to create an environment that meets and exceeds animal care and personnel safety standards.

NuAire's commitment to innovation ensures that vivarium's can find or create the perfect system for animal handling and cage-changing needs, combining state-of-the-art technology with customizable features to enhance workflow, safety, and research integrity.

NuAire has a selection of products that can help make your lab safer, cleaner, and more effective while supporting the welfare of your animals. Our animal transfer stations use HEPA filtered airflow for product protection and allergen protection, and they create a vacuum air barrier between the user and the work zone in order to minimize the potential exposure to animal hair, dander or cage bedding material. You can also use NuAire's Bedding Disposal stations to safely and efficiently dispose of animal cage waste with no risk of exposure to odors, aerosols or lab animal dander. NuAire also has animal biosafety cabinets, procedural biosafety cabinets, isolation cabinets and laminar airflow workstations for use in animal labs.
