HumidiFlex™
PRECISION HUMIDIFICATION AND DEHUMIDIFICATION
Elevate your research with HumidiFlex—your solution to overcome reproducibility challenges and improve lab animal welfare. HumidiFlex precisely humidifies or dehumidifies the air within each cage, giving you unparalleled control over the microenvironment in your vivarium. Which enhances the quality of your research and prioritizes the well-being of your laboratory animals, especially in breeding programs and locations where humidity is an ongoing challenge.
- Prioritizing Laboratory Animal Well-Being
- Enhancing Data Validity and Research Reproducibility
- Improved Energy Efficiency
- Only Airflow Solution to Humidify and Dehumidify
Prioritizing Laboratory Animal Well-Being
- Meets and exceeds the humidity requirements outlined in animal welfare acts, relevant regulations, and the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” (Eighth Edition).
- Provides consistent in-cage environmental conditions, crucial for preventing health issues like Ringtail in rats.
- Tailors humidity to species-specific needs, including those of nude mice, avoiding issues like increased food and water consumption due to low-humidity environments.
Enhancing Data Validity and Research Reproducibility
- Controls humidity as a confounding factor by providing constant, precise control. This ensures accurate, repeatable data by maintaining stable environmental conditions throughout the study.
- Proven by collaborative studies with institutions like Kings College London and the University of Turku, which demonstrated improved breeding performance and pup survival rates with consistent humidity levels.
Improved Energy Efficiency
- Reduces energy consumption by up to 80% compared to traditional room-level humidification systems, which often over-humidify large areas.
- HumidiFlex targets local or cage-level humidification, cutting down the volume of air that requires high humidity levels.
Advanced Humidification Control
- Features patented technology with a hot plate to generate vapor, allowing for both humidification and optional dehumidification.
- Maintains humidity within +/-3% of the user-defined target, a level of precision unmatched by any other system.
- Operates effectively in a room humidity range of 2%-80%.
Cloud-Based Reporting
- Offers real-time data logging and access via a cloud-based portal with multiple user levels.
- Email and SMS alerts, alarm notifications, and data retrieval and download capabilities.
Air Flow Capacity
- Connects with most IVC brands, supporting up to 4 single-sized or 2 double-sized mouse IVCs, or 2 single-sided or 1 double-sided rat IVCs.
Accurate Relative Humidity, All Year Round
HumidiFlex, a patented* and unrivaled technology, guarantees a stable relative humidity varying less than ±3% from set point all year round, even during a cold and dry winter or on a humid summer day, and independently of any central heating and ventilation systems in the building.
Full Flexibility, Everywhere and for Everyone
HumidiFlex adjusts the relative humidity of the air for individually ventilated cage systems (IVC).
