Tecniplast 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.
