customer feedback:
"Our transgenic breeding production tripled when we started using Innovive IVC"
- Facility Manager, DVM
"From the business side, that was pretty much an easy decision.
From our side, research and animal care, that was also an easy decision because of the extra time we had and the health status we observed."

Animal Welfare

The Innovive Disposable Rodent Caging System has been shown to maintain lower ammonia levels, to IMPROVE TRANSGENIC BREEDING and to help prevent disease.


One of the most important benefits provided by the Innovive Disposable Rodent Caging System is an improved animal welfare - a result of combining our signature no-draft clean air cage level environment with a guaranteed irradiated cage at every changeout.

    GENTLE ANIMAL ENVIRONMENT

    The Innorack® ventilation system employs a transversal (front to rear) airflow that provides efficient evacuation of moisture and gases from the Innocage®.
    This creates a cage-level environment that is unmatched by traditional IVC systems.

  • Low ammonia concentration. With a 14-day standard change interval, maintaining low ammonia levels is essential for animals' health.
    A 3rd party, peer-reviewed study validated that the cage level air environment of Innovive individually ventilated cages (IVC) is cleaner than the cage level air environment in traditional, rear-ventilated, cages.

  • Improved breeding. As presented at the 2008 National AALAS Meeting, and reported by many of our customers, transgenic animals show 3X greater breeding in the Innorack® when compared to racks that ventilate from the rear of the cage.

  • Diminished animal disturbance. Low -velocity air entering from the top of the cage eliminates any disturbance that could occur from air blowing into the cage at the level of the animals.

A FRESH IRRADIATED CAGE AT EVERY CHANGE

With a new cage at every change, the cage condition and clarity remains consistent throughout the life of the animals. A fresh, irradiated cage at every change also reduces the risk of cross contamination, removing another variable from your research.
