Tecniplast Metabolic Cages
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. Each mouse or rat 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—ideal for mouse and rat 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.
