Animal Care Systems, Inc. now offers four types of high density vented caging systems for healthy housing of rodents. The M.I.C.E.® System, our
revolutionary OptiMICE®, OptiRAT® and the smaller
ErgoMICE® are vented using a building's HVAC exhaust system, with a natural convective assist from the populated cages themselves. With no blowers,
all systems are appropriate and safe even in case of power failure, a unique feature that separates M.I.C.E.®, OptiMICE®, OptiRAT® and ErgoMICE® Systems from all other electrically-powered and blower-ventilated racks.
The OptiMICE® System sets a new standard in animal
density while featuring many of the patented features of the
M.I.C.E.® System. The 100-cage OptiMICE rack features an
amazingly small footprint and our unique carousel layout for
maximum cage access from a single location.
The OptiRAT® System is the newest addition to the
Animal Care Systems line. This system also includes many of the patented features of the
M.I.C.E.® System. The 42-cage OptiRAT® rack features the same
amazingly small footprint as the OptiMICE® rack and uses the same water bottles. It also features the same unique carousel layout for
maximum cage access from a single location.
The ErgoMICE® System uses the same design
as OptiMICE® in a smaller, lighter cost effective package.
ErgoMICE® is available in both a 50 and 70 cage versions. These versions are designed for service
and maintenance with a minimum of bending or reaching. We also offer an 80-cage version that fills the lower portion of our short rack with
three additional rows (30 cages). All three versions use our standard OptiMICE® cage.
The M.I.C.E.® System is available in a wide variety
of sizes from the smallest 14-cage system ideal for small
studies and experiments, to large 140-cage racks suitable
for installation in medium-to-large animal rooms. Each
M.I.C.E.® System rack is based on multiples of the 14-cage
module. M.I.C.E.® caging systems are sold in both
single-sided and double-sided versions.
