Digital Ventilated Caging (DVC®)
Tecniplast Digital Ventilated Caging (DVC®) offers the optimal combination of technology and individually ventilated cages. This scalable solution uses 24/7 home cage monitoring to improve animal welfare, increase vivarium efficiency, and enhanced biomedical research data. This tried-and-true solution utilizes washable and autoclavable non-invasive sensor plates mounted below the cage to detect animal behavior and cage conditions. No chipping or tagging required for this scalable solution to modernizing research vivariums.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Real-Time Digital Monitoring – Tracks key behavioral and environmental parameters like animal locomotion, bedding condition, flooding, animal welfare, temperature, humidity, light, human presence, sound, and vibration.
- Process Simplification - Detect low food, missing water bottles, and animal health issues and be alerted to these issues with the LED driven workflow.
- Enhanced Biosecurity – Limit interaction using remote monitoring technology and cage change notifications.
- Automated Data Collection – Collect and analyze real-time data such as animal locomotion, running wheel activity, and urination.
- Scalable and Energy Efficient – AI driven algorithm use data from the low power sensor array to determine animal and cage conditions.
Tecniplast Digital Ventilated Caging ensures optimal conditions for laboratory animals, enhancing research quality while streamlining facility operations.

Interceptor Airborne Pathogen Monitoring System
The Tecniplast Interceptor is an advanced, non-invasive environmental monitoring solution that revolutionizes health surveillance in rodent facilities. Installed directly in the IVC rack's air handling unit, the Interceptor continuously collects airborne particles from exhaust air, allowing for rapid and highly sensitive pathogen detection using PCR—without the need for sentinel animals. This patented system improves detection speed, supports the 3Rs by eliminating live sentinels, and significantly reduces labor and testing costs. Easy to install and validated across leading research institutions, the Interceptor offers a more ethical, efficient, and reliable approach to colony health monitoring.
