• Mobile & Modular Design: Rack-mounted system with smooth-rolling wheels allows easy transport, while individual hutches can be removed and used in biocontainment setups
• Easy Access & Maintenance: Full front doors provide clear visibility and simplify cleaning, enrichment placement, and daily handling
• Customizable & Enrichment-Ready: Supports add-ons such as nesting boxes, exploration tubes, and bedding pans, with material and flooring options to suit facility needs

Tecniplast's metabolic cages are high-precision systems designed for accurate metabolic monitoring in laboratory rodents. Engineered to support a wide range of research applications, these cages come in multiple configurations to accommodate mice (single or grouped) and rats. You can house mice in the metabolic cages for rats that are under 300 g (3700M061 and 3700M071) by using the retrofit kit available in the accessories tab. Each metabolic cage enables precise collection of urine and feces - crucial for metabolic, pharmacological, and nutritional studies. Built for reliability and maintaining Tecniplast's priority of animal welfare, Tecniplast offers advanced tools for modern rodent metabolic research.

• Multiple variants available for different species and study designs including mouse metabolic cage setups.
• Ensures accurate measurement of metabolic outputs for high-quality, reproducible data.
• Modular, easy-to-clean components enhance lab efficiency and maintain high biosecurity standards.
• E-Chiller system provides reliable cooling for sample collection, maintaining temperature-sensitive metabolic waste during experiments.
  
• Used for application in pharmacokinetics, toxicology, physiology, nutrition, and biochemistry.
