- Isoflurane pre-treatment systems available on request.
- User safety. Airtight gasket sealed doors prevent gas leakage.
- Tamper proof. All systems are password protected and an unlimited number of users can be granted access by an administrator.
- Simple to use. Touch screen controlled.
- Size to suit your needs. Single cage systems to high capacity rack systems available.
Finding your system
The following questions may be useful in helping assess your needs:
- Is euthanasia performed by animal care staff or research staff? This will determine whether a larger system is needed in a centralised location for use by trained animal care staff or a smaller system where euthanasia is performed by individual users in the lab.
- How much control do you want your operators to have? Manual adjustable flow rate systems give the operator complete control over settings whereas the manual preset flow rate system allows the operator to have control over turning on and off gas and determining procedure times. The fully automated SMARTBOX systems are preset with user only having to press ‘start’.
- Centralized location or lab location? Larger systems with high throughputs are most suitable for centralised locations whereas a smaller system is recommended if euthanasia is performed by individual users in their designated labs.
Mobile Cart for TT-8200
The Mobile Euthanasia Cart allows ease of mobility for the TT-8200 and accommodates four 10 kg CO2 cylinders. It has an extra shelf for the blower unit so the whole system is mobile. Made of stainless steel.
Shelf Divider Panels
The Shelf Divider Panels enables stacking of cages without wire bar lids in the M1 euthanasia chamber system.
Stainless Steel Sliding Shelf
The Stainless Steel Sliding Shelf allows convenient cage loading and unloading of the M1 euthanasia chambers.
EA-31000 Single Cage Output – Single Preset Time
The EA-31000 Single Cage Output with Single Preset Time is designed for small scale use by individual researchers in their laboratories. The operator automates on/off gas flow at the push of a button, delivering CO2 to an individual chamber or Euthanex Cage Lid. Includes programmable charge and dwell time. The run and ready lights visually indicate operation and completion.
TT-8200 Tabletop Chamber System
The TT-8200 Table Top Chamber automates a three-stage euthanasia cycle: charging, dwell time and exhaust. At the start of a cycle, the chamber lid automatically locks and can’t be unlocked until CO2 evacuation is complete. The clear acrylic structure provides full visibility and a top loading lid makes cage access easy. The airtight gasket sealed lid prevents gas leakage during operation and the manifold design ensures even gas distribution.
M1-TSFM-1 Single Chamber Touch Screen System
The Single Chamber Touch Screen System automates a three-stage euthanasiacycle: charging, dwell time and exhaust. At the start of the cycle, the doors automatically lock and can’t be unlocked until CO 2 evacuation is complete. The clear polycarbonate doors provide visibility while the front-loading, swing-down design offers easy cage access. Airtight, gasket sealed doors prevent gas leakage during operation and the manifold design ensures even gas distribution. The Touch Screen makes operating the system very easy. Optionally, personal passwords are necessary to start the system. Time settings for species used can be predefined by the administrator. The user can select from this list and the screen will then show the stage and the remaining stage- and cycle time.
EA-32000 Single Cage Output – Two Preset Times
The EA-32000 Single Cage Output with Two Preset Times is designed for small scale use by individual researchers in their laboratories. The operator automates on/off gas flow at the push of a button, delivering CO2 to an individual chamber or Euthanex Cage lid. Includes programmable charge and dwell times for two species. The run and ready lights visually indicate operation and completion.
M1-SBFF-1FM Single Chamber System
The M1-SBFF-1FM Single Chamber System automates a three-stage euthanasiacycle: charging, dwell time and exhaust. At the start of the cycle, the doors automatically lock and can’t be unlocked until CO 2 evacuation is complete. The clear polycarbonate doors provide visibility while the front-loading, swing-down design offers easy cage access. Airtight, gasket sealed doors prevent gas leakage during operation and the manifold design ensures even gas distribution.
M1-TSFM-2 Double Chamber Touchscreen System
The Double Chamber Touch Screen System automates a three-stage euthanasiacycle: charging, dwell time and exhaust. The chambers can be run independantly or together. At the start of the cycle, the doors automatically lock and can’t be unlocked until CO 2 evacuation is complete. The clear polycarbonate doors provide visibility while the front-loading, swing-down design offers easy cage access. Airtight, gasket sealed doors prevent gas leakage during operation and the manifold design ensures even gas distribution. The Touch Screen makes operating the system very easy. The chambers can be started independantly at any given time, even if the other chamber is running. Optionally, personal passwords are necessary to start the system. Time settings for species used can be predefined by the administrator. The user can select from this list and the screen will then show the stage and the remaining stage- and cycle time.
EA-32002C Two Cage Output – Individual Start
The EA-32002C Two Cage Output unit with Individual Start automates on/off gas flow at the push of a button, delivering CO2 to individual induction chambers or Euthanex Cage Lids. The EA-32002C is designed for small scale use by individual investigators in their laboratories. The Controller has two separate and independent gas outputs – allowing up to two cages to be euthanized individually or staggered. This feature increases the user efficiency when individually euthanizing a large number of animals. The run and ready lights easily indicate outputs in operation. Operates at a fixed flow rate based on the external CO2 source.
Euthanex recommends pairing Flow Restrictors with our lids or Sure-Seal Chambers for the EA-32002C to avoid the need to adjust the incoming flow rate as the number of cages connected changes. Flow Restrictors are chosen according to your cage size and installed into the Euthanex lid or Sure-Seal Chamber. Using consistent pressure, the AVMA compliant flow rate will be delivered to each cage – regardless of the number of chambers in use
EA-34004C Four Cage Output – Individual Start
The EA-34004C Four Cage Output Lab Control Unit automates on/off gas flow at the push of a button, delivering CO2 to individual induction chambers or Euthanex Cage Lids. The EA-34004C is designed for small scale use by individual investigators in their laboratories. The Controller has four separate and independent gas outputs – allowing up to four cages to be euthanized individually or staggered. This feature increases the user efficiency when individually euthanizing a large number of animals. The run and ready lights easily indicate outputs in operation. Operates at a fixed flow rate based on the external CO2 source.
