Frequently Asked Questions

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.
