Chamber Systems

The chamber systems offer homecage CO2 euthanasia that is humane, safe and automated with a multitude of sizes available to meet varying throughput requirements.  All systems are compatible with a wide range of rodent cages from all manufacturers.  Touchscreen options available.

How it works

The chamber systems operate a three-stage euthanasia cycle; charging, dwell time and exhaust.  At the start of each cycle the doors automatically lock until CO2 evacuation is complete at the end of each cycle.

Stage one: secures doors and anaesthetises animals by slowly raising CO2 concentration.  Gas flow is automatically adjusted to bring CO2 to euthanising concentrations to complete euthanasia.

Stage two:(dwell time) This stage ensures euthanasia has been properly completed.

Stage three: CO2 is evacuated and once the system has been purged of CO2, the chamber doors are unlocked and the cycle is complete.

What to consider

The number of cages you need to process per hour is a good indicator of which system will best suit your needs.  The following table can be used to help you calculate your throughput and thus select a suitable system.

(Please take into account that each cycle takes approximately 30 minutes including loading/unloading time).
