Ventilated animal recovery unit
The Animal Recovery Unit (ARU) is specifically designed to support animals requiring an elevated temperature within the cage environment and temporarily housed there until they are ready to return to standard caging. The unit is a portable rodent housing unit that functions as a standard IVC, with the added feature of heating to meet research animals' post-operative needs and ensure their comfort.
The ARU's heating element is protected for user safety and works together with an internal fan to circulate warmed air throughout all of the cages. The unit offers a range of temperatures, which can be quickly and easily adjusted from ambient (room) temperature up to 36.7°C (98°F).
The rack structure and cage components are autoclavable and washable. The environmental control unit can be sterilized using VHP or similar methods. Built to the highest standards, the Allentown ARU is a quality product that provides a safe environment for animals requiring special temperature conditions and recovery time.
