Frequently Asked Questions

More Room. In the Same Room.

With the cost of floor space increasing with each passing year, every research facility in the Lab Animal Science industry understands the need to maximize cage density within their vivarium. Enter EasyCage MAX, the new Maximum Density IVC and Cage System from Allentown that increases cage density by 20% - using IVCs that are the same size and occupy the same footprint as our standard units. Available with automatic watering or with optional bottle, MAX IVCs accommodate both the the EasyCage MAX disposable cage system AND the NexGen MAX reusable cage system. One rack, two cage types, many, many more cages. Just what you’d expect from Allentown, your Global Solutions Provider.

Ergonomics

One finger. That's all you need to dock an EasyCage. EasyCage is the smoothest, most ergonomic solution on the market today. How much more ergonomic? A recent independent ergonomic study proved EasyCage requires 96% less force to undock, and 80% less force to dock cages than a competitive system.

Two Cages, One Rack

Disposable is a viable solution for some facilities, but do you want to lock in forever? Knowing how things change over time, wouldn't it be great to have the flexibility to use disposable caging and reusable caging in the same rack? Welcome to EasyCage.

Sentinel™

Allentown and Charles River Laboratories have partnered together to develop the Exhaust Air Dust collection methodology — or EAD®. Available in two configurations, neither system requires the use of soiled-bedding sentinel animals, but instead captures and samples aggregate exhaust air from IVCs using a patented collection media that attracts dust particles but doesn't load like a filter, or impact airflow.
