The Anaesthesia Box for mice is designed to minimize stress during both the induction and recovery phases of anaesthesia. Constructed from red transparent plexiglass, -
it effectively reduces light-induced stress while providing a leakproof environment suitable for various gas mixtures, ensuring optimal anaesthesia exposure.
The sliding top allows for easy placement of the mouse without direct handling, adhering to the 3R principles and utilizing the advanced tunnel handling technique, which offers a more humane alternative to traditional tail handling.
To address hypothermia during anaesthesia, the box is heated to maintain a stable, controlled temperature.
It features an efficient system for the easy removal of inhalant anaesthesia residues, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for both the animal and the researcher. The box is compatible with 14mm and 22mm tube connectors.
Additionally, the Anaesthesia Box is easy to clean and fully sterilizable, making it an excellent choice for maintaining optimal hygiene and sterility in any laboratory setting.

Heated Anesthesia box rat
The Anaesthesia box for rat is designed to create a stress-free environment during anaesthesia induction and recovery, making it ideal for preclinical studies.
Constructed from red transparent plexiglass, the box minimizes light-induced stress while ensuring a secure, leakproof space for optimal exposure to various gas mixtures. Its sliding top allows for easy placement of the rat, reducing handling stress.
Similar to its mouse counterpart, the box is heated to address the common issue of hypothermia during anaesthesia, providing a controlled environment that helps maintain body temperature. This contributes to a safer and more comfortable experience for the animal, potentially enhancing the quality of your research results.
The box features an efficient system for the easy removal of inhalant anaesthesia residues, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for both the animal and the researcher.
It is compatible with 14mm and 22mm tube connectors.
Additionally, the Anaesthesia Box Rat is easy to clean and fully sterilizable, making it an excellent choice for maintaining optimal hygiene and sterility in your lab.

MARTA box
The MARTA Box enables contact-free vital sign monitoring during anaesthesia induction and recovery.Designed to easily fit on top of the MARTA Pad, it provides a leakproof environment compatible with various gas mixtures for optimal anaesthesia exposure, all without the need to touch or move the animals. This setup helps prevent hypothermia by maintaining a controlled temperature throughout both the induction and recovery phases.The box features a removable top for straightforward animal placement and is constructed from red transparent plexiglass to reduce light-induced stress.Additionally, it includes an integrated suction system that efficiently removes inhalant anaesthesia residues, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment. Easy to clean and fully sterilizable, the box is perfect for maintaining hygiene and performance in the lab.

New x-small low stress Induction Chamber in red

Low stress. Rodents lack cone cells that sense red light and are insensetive to red light. The red transparent appereance is conevenient for the experimenter to observe the state of of the animal while reducing the stress response of the animal and reducing the impacton the biological rythm of the animal. Comply with animal welfare

The new induction chamber for mice is made from plexiglass-material, durable, easy to clean, convenient to observe the anesthetic state of animals. The size of the very small Induction Chamber is: 160 mm x 100 mm x 90 mm, suitable for one mice.
It comes with a gas in-outlet connector and a gas evacuation hose.

The Vapor-Vac hooded induction chamber works with active vacuum waste gas management systems by allowing room air to be drawn into the waste anesthetic collection system as well as the waste gases from the induction chamber. If room air is not allowed to be pulled into the waste collection system, the vacuum will pull most of the fresh anesthetic gas out of the induction chamber before the animal is able to be anesthetized.

The fresh and waste anesthetic gas inlet and outlet adapters are easy to connect. The gas outlet adaptor can be connected to the EVAC tubing for F/AIR Filter or to any scavenge system. 

Optional the induction chamber is available with an external ventilator/fan connected to a 12V / 2A 110- 240 VAC power source. The fan will immediately scavenge the anesthesia gas with an on/off switch on the cable. This safety feature helps to reduce the amount of anesthetic gas which could be a hazard for the user.

Special Induction chamber for tail vein injection for mice 

The University of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany Dr. med. vet. Sebastian Gehrig and in co-operation with the Society for the Promotion of Research at the Albert-Ludwigs University and the University of Freiburg, developed in 2011 a special induction chamber for tail vein injection for mice.

Introduction

After the tail is led through the intended opening, a contra pressure to the foamed plastic will help to establish a vein rope. This means, that the injection procedure will be clearly simplified. After that, it‘s possible to handle the tail vein without any further problem. Usual procedures, such as warming-up the tail are not necessary anymore. 

Advantage of the Induction chamber

By the low volume size of the induction chamber the anesthesia enters fast and stressless. Another advantage is certainly the accuracy and simplicity of the injection in the tail vein. The injection with anesthesia in mice provides furthermore identical test terms and contributes comparable and reproduceable results. The number of the unsuc- cessful attempts will lower considerably. Also the time where radioactive material must be handled for the user. Another excellent advantage is the time reduction for these standard procedures.

Sizes of the Induction chambers 
Body part grey: 100 x 160 x 25 mm 
Chamber in acrylic material 60 x 120 x 50 mm 
Size chamber inside 80 x 140 x 40 mm 
The Induction chamber is made from a very special PMMA 
acrylic material (1 cm thick) and has a determing advantage of the addtional ray protection 
for the user  of - and – radiation (no y– radiation)
