Circular cages
hold up to 10 mice or 11 rats. The notched removable lid can be dialed to any of the
ventilated pie- shaped chambers. These units were originally designed for whole body
irradiation. Use for temporary transport or storage of animals for acute studies. The rat
cage has tail slots for intravenous dosing.
The mouse unit is 21.5 cm in diameter and
7.5 cm in height; individual chambers are 5 cm (base) and 9 cm (length).
The small rat unit is 41 cm in diameter
and 6.75 cm in height; individual chambers are 10 cm (base) and 18 cm (length).
The large rat unit is 46 cm in diameter
and 8.0 cm in height; individual chambers are 11.5 cm (base) and 20 cm (length).
Using multiple Rad Disk™,
it is possible to conduct sequential irradiations on groups of up to 20
mice (without dividers) without the need of autoclaving cages between
each use, because the interior of the Rad Disk™
maintains a filter protected sterile environment. Rad Disk™
uses a patented offset design that allows vertical stacking of cages so
that adequate airflow reaches each cage.
The filtered cage prevents
contamination during and after irradiation, and during transport in and
out of animal rooms.
Because Rad Disk™
is constructed of polycarbonate plastic, it is autoclaveable. The cage
is 4” high and 10 ¾” in diameter, designed to fit into Gammacell 40 or
Nordion irradiator loading chambers.
Used as directed, Rad Disk™ prevents
contamination of mice during the irradiation process even when
irradiator is located outside of the animal rooms or facility. Rad Disk™ comes complete
with a removable divider system which can divide the cage into 4 to 8
separate compartments, if desired, for irradiation. The cage can also
be used without the dividers thus allowing the free ranging mice to
receive more uniform irradiation exposure.
