Metabolic Cages Application: For Collection Of Feces & Urine From Experimental Animal

We are manufacturing, exporting and supplying a valuable assortment of Metabolic Cages in Nashik, Maharashtra, India.
For collection of feces and urine from experimental animal
There are many types of metabolic cages developed for metabolic studies of experimental animals. Most of them are constructed from plastic, glass or a combination of plastic, glass, and metal screen with the primary function of urine-feces separation. Many of the cages available have several disadvantages as more number of parts, expensive construction, lack of versatility, inadequate space for the animal and incomplete separation of urine and feces. Orchid Scientific has developed new type of metabolic cage RMC 03 which eliminates all these disadvantages.
Orchida s metabolic cage offer better separation efficiency of urine and feces assuring maximum purity of samples.
Components below the cage floor like collection tubes are removable without disturbing animals allowing tests to be conducted over a prolonged period of time without interruptions.
Animal waste is directed through a collection funnel and onto a linear diffuser guide. The diffuser guide allows solid matter to travel down the top ridges of a 50% incline, passing over a urine port, and into a fecal collection vessel. Liquid waste flows along grooves down the inclined diffuser guide, passing through the urine port, and into a urine collection vessel. Separate urine and feces samples are collected in two separate tubes.

Salient Features:-
Reliable experiment results due to better separation efficiency
Food hopper design reducing the access or stay of animal inside food hopper
Practicality of use due to less components or parts
Minimal animal stress: Meets CPCSEA requirements, Sample removing is without stressing animal, access to all elements below the cage floor without disturbing animal
Durability: Most components are made from autoclavable polycarbonate and S.S. 304 material
Versatility: Unit accommodates various species with simple feeder and floor change
Space saving
Economy: Few parts, simple and rapid assembling

Unique design of food hopper:
New design of Orchida s Food hopper prevents animal to sleep or net inside same time reducing the food particle contamination in the urine or feces.
