Plastic cages made of polycarbonate, polysulfone, or polyetherimide. The latter materials are particularly resistant to mechanical stress, the effects of chemicals, and repeated washing and sterilization cycles..
Cage lids made of Stainless Steel AISI 304.
Plastic water bottles made from the same materials as the cages in various capacities, depending on the dimensions of the cage and the number of animals it houses. Bottle caps made of AISI 316 stainless steel, corrosion-resistant.
Filtertop cage systems (“Reemay filter” – type G14). Systems that provide proven microbial protection, as well as a better "microenvironment" inside the enclosure, as temperature and humidity fluctuations are reduced, drafts are minimized, and almost all airborne particles in the environment (8-10μm at 98%) are retained. In combination with the provision of sterilized food and bedding and the handling of cages in specialized bio-safety chambers, they provide a protective barrier at the cage level, with significant benefits in protecting both the animals and the handlers.
