We have four Allentown Sealed Positive Pressure racks that house up to 48 cages each. These cages enable a germ-free environment at the cage level. The isolator cages are great for experiments as each cage provides its own individual isolated clean micro-environment. Each cage has its own supply of clean air which is filtered through a HEPA filter. The sterility of each cage is tested every two weeks. We have flexible film isolators available for larger mouse colonies and breeding.
