Precision Specimen Collection and Separation for Rodent Research

Metabolism Units

Traditional metabolic collection systems struggle to deliver uncontaminated specimens and often disrupt ongoing studies.

Complex systems with numerous components increase contamination risks and complicate testing procedures, while specimen collection often requires disturbing the test subjects, leading to extended acclimation periods.

Our Metabolism Units achieve 99% uncontaminated specimen separation through an efficient 15-component design, allowing specimen collection without disturbing test subjects.

Collection and Separation

checkmark icon

Linear Diffuser Mechanism: Directs animal waste via collection funnel, with solids traveling along 50-degree inclined ridges to the front collection vessel.

checkmark icon

Precision Separation: Liquid waste flows through grooves and down the diffuser's incline into the urine port and collection vessel.
