As microbiome research grows, maintaining gnotobiotic rodents in a germ-free setting is crucial. Traditionally, isolators have been the standard, but emerging studies support the use of IVC caging, especially disposable IVC caging, for effective germ-free maintenance
Research-Ready cages arrive irradiated, double-bagged, and are guaranteed to have never housed another rodent. This ensures aseptic conditions at the cage level from the very beginning, eliminating the possibility of germs being left behind from the cleaning process. Simply put, you start with a clean, germ free cage at every change
Key Benefits of the Research-Ready IVC System for Gnotobiotics
The irradiated and double-bagged cages ensure that no external contaminants are introduced into your research environment
As your gnotobiotic program expands, the flexible ordering process allows for easy scaling without additional investments
