"Prior to adopting Innovive we were driving cages to and from this facility for cage washing - it was a serious burden.
Now we're able to maintain this remote facility as an independent stand-alone operation. It's saving us a great deal of time and money."

Disposable Caging: Remote Labs

independent operations | uncompromised science

Remote research operations face a challenging task of maintaining animals in a facility that is not connected to a cage wash.
Cages need to be trucked to a central facility for wash and sterilization. This is an expensive logistics headache that is easily solved by using disposable cages at your remote facility.

TRADITIONAL SATELLITE FACILITIES

SATELLITE FACILITIES - the objective:

Maintain animals in a facility that is not connected to a cage wash.


SATELLITE FACILITIES- challenges:

Capacity issues and other circumstances often require the use of a building that is separated from the central cage wash facility which resuls in less than ideal circumstances: Dirty caging must be transported from one location to another - often through public space - leading to much higher costs, much more burdensome cage operations, ergonomic issues and public perception concerns.

DISPOSABLE CAGES FOR SATELLITE FACILITIES

DISPOSABLE CAGES - SOLVING THE EQUATION:

disposable rodent caging remote facilites Remote facilities that install Innovive Disposable Rodent Caging System operate independently of a main facility, isolating materials and personnel from the cagewash and main colony (see diagram above).

Disposable Caging eliminates all the all risks associated with cage transportation; it also lowers operating costs.
In addition, Innovive pre-bedded disposable cages and prefilled water bottles provide the perfect solution for any remote facility where bottle filling and cage change infrastructure may be limited.
