Stainless steel metabolic cages

The UNO Metabolic cages are equipped with a unique system for the separated collection of faeces and urine.

Design and finish are such that the animal has a maximum of comfort. Maintenance is efficient and fast. The stainless steel metabolic cages can be de-contaminated from isotope-testing. This is not possible with plastic metabolic cages.

Every unit comes complete with:

• cage
• adjustable feed passage
• feed bowl
• faeces and urine collection system
• drinking bottle holder

All parts can be easily disassembled and the collection system is of the slide-out type. The adjustable feed passage ensures a minimum of feed waste. The feed bowl can be used for pellet feed and, after fitting a special plate, for powdered feed.

The seperate unit can be placed in a table support (see above) or in a movable rack. These racks are intended to accommodate a minimal of 12 and a maximum of 20 UNO Metabolic cages depending on the type of animal.

Available cage models:

• for mice
• rats
• guinea pigs
