SMALL ANIMAL ANESTHESIA SYSTEM

New fully-integrated turnkey Anesthesia System immobilizes small animals when taking pictures with the iBox Scientia Imaging System. The easy to use Anesthesia System is compact, portable and safe for animals.

APPLICATIONS

• Anesthesia of mice or rats for in vivo imaging

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      MAIN FEATURES

The Anesthesia System combines several components to regulate and administer a combination of oxygen and isoflurane gas to the animal.

• The initial anesthesia is performed in the induction chamber.

• The animal is then moved to the warming plate inside the iBox Scientia darkroom. The plate generates uniform temperature conditions which maintain a safe body temperature of the animal during the imaging process.

• A low profile breathing device on the plate connects to patented valves. These valves control the gas flow through the nose cone to protect the animal and technician from overexposure to gas. The breather incorporates multiple ports to accommodate up to three mice.

The iBox Scientia system facilitates the quick image capture of the animal. While imaging is performed, it is important that there is no movement of the subject. The Anesthesia System used with the iBox Scientia allows the animal to use less anesthesia thus reducing stress and potential side-effects from longer imaging times. The anesthesia also allows quick recovery tine of the animal.

The simple design is easy to set up with the iBox Scientia System and ensures a straightforward process for controlling small animal anesthesia.

The patented Anesthesia System has passed rigorous testing by the National Institute of Environment Health Services (NIEHS) and creates a safe environment for laboratory staff.
