Rodent Incubators

Our rodent incubators offer a temperature and lighting controlled environment with 0-15 fresh air exchanges per hour (adjustable). The chambers have a temperature range of 6.5-40°C, making them good for both thermoneutral studies as well as cold-exposure experiments. 

Our rodent incubators are perfect for housing many species of caged rodents or other small animals. For example, rats, mice and squirrels have all been housed in our incubators. Our chambers are built to order, allowing the individual researcher to tailor the incubator to fit the required parameters without paying for features that aren’t needed.

These chambers are designed to be housed in vivariums. This is because the fresh air system is designed to take and discharge air directly to the room. For vivariums, which tend to be isolated and have their own filtration system, this is not an issue. If the chambers are located in a standard laboratory though, the odor of the exhaust air may be undesirable. However, it is possible for an HVAC professional to duct the exhast port to a ventilation return if necessary.

Each incubator comes equipped with features such as clock-controlled lighting, solid doors, an interior outlet and access port, doors locks, an audible/visual alarm with relay, stainless steel construction, and casters.

Many other options are available, including additional lighting or LED lighting, dual or multi-point temperature control for temperature stressing, vibration reduction, top-mounted or remote compressors, extra-deep sizes, or RS-232 or data retransmit outputs. Please see our accessories page for a complete list of available options.
