Anesthesia and Euthanasia System for Laboratory Animals

The Anesthesia and Euthanasia System is a comprehensive and efficient laboratory animal anesthesia system designed for safe, precise, and humane handling of small rodents such as mice and rats. Combining both anesthesia and euthanasia capabilities in a single integrated system, it provides researchers with a reliable solution for preclinical studies, pharmacology research, and animal experimentation.

This advanced system is widely used in animal research laboratories, universities, and pharmaceutical facilities, where accurate gas delivery and operator safety are critical. Its dual-functionality design eliminates the need for separate systems, improving workflow efficiency and ensuring consistent research results.

Integrated Gas Delivery System for Precision Control

The system is equipped with a Tec 3 isoflurane vaporizer, along with oxygen and carbon dioxide flowmeters to facilitate controlled anesthesia and euthanasia procedures. This integrated configuration ensures accurate regulation of anesthetic gas concentration, allowing researchers to maintain optimal conditions throughout both induction and maintenance phases.

The control panel includes several user-friendly features, such as:

• Quick oxygen flush switch
• Induction chamber and nose cone selection switch
• Active or passive gas evacuation control
• Dedicated euthanasia supply and exhaust ports

Key Applications in Research and Laboratory Use

The Anesthesia and Euthanasia System is designed to support a wide range of laboratory applications, including:

• Inhalation anesthesia for rodents (mice and rats)
• Euthanasia procedures in compliance with research protocols
• Preclinical pharmacology and toxicology studies
• Behavioral and surgical experiments involving laboratory animals
• CNS and biomedical research applications

Its versatility makes it essential equipment for laboratories requiring reliable and reproducible results in animal studies.

Robust System Design and Configuration

Constructed with high-quality stainless steel (SS 304), the system is designed for durability, hygiene, and long-term use in laboratory environments. It is mounted on a mobile trolley fitted with castor wheels, allowing easy movement and flexible positioning within the laboratory.

The integrated trolley design also includes:

• Centralized control panel for ease of operation
• Built-in electrical sockets for connecting accessories such as heating blankets or evacuation systems
• Dedicated storage drawer for accessories and tools
• Provision for securely mounting gas cylinders on the same unit
