Individually Ventilated Animal Caging System

Individually Ventilated Animal Caging System is the most appropriate solution for almost all the complications faced in conventional caging system. In this system, individual cages are treated as a separate room for animal. The total volume of cages are much lower compared to the total volume of animal room. The requirement of fresh air quantity reduces to almost 10% due to reduction in the volume. The system offers a huge saving in power and also much better environment for the animal along with complete isolation.
The IV caging system mainly consists of three main sub systems.

» IVC animal cages
» IVC rack with ducting
» IVC Ventilator

Cages are positioned in IVC rack. The supply and exhaust air headers are connected with IVC Ventilator.
The supply air unit of IVC Ventilator sucks fresh air from the room, passes it through prefilter and Hepa filter and supplies the clean air to all cages through supply air ducting network of IVC rack. Similarly, the exhaust air unit of IVC Ventilator sucks the contaminated air from all cages, again passes it through pre-filter, Hepa filter and discharges the filtered air to the environment.
