General characteristics.
Protected animal units are available in two different capacities, the conventional UAxx-I and extra-capacity UAxx-II.
UAxx-I and UAxx-II are available in three configurations.
A.Asingle compartment with four doors and three adjustable shelves. UAx-I and UAx-II
B.Four individual compartments and eight doors for keeping animals in different conditions without danger of cross-contamination between compartments. UAIx-I and UAIx-II
C.Each of the units can be configured to positive or negative pressure. UAP-I, UAN-I, UAP-II, UAN-II, UAIP-I, UAIN-I, UAIP-II and UAIN-II.
Also we offer individual stackable modules (up to four). EXCLUSIVE and unique!
Secondary units are available for each model and configuration to duplicate storage capacity without duplicating costs. These units use the filtration systems and motors of the main units.
The entire assembly is mobile, allowing animals and units to be moved for cleaning in an area different from storage. UAunits provide efficient positive-pressure protection for immunosuppressed animals, SPF, etc. It also enables protection of the surroundings and laboratory personnel under negative pressure conditions, for example, in cases of animals infected during laboratory tests.
