Thermo IVC
Elevate your rodent vivarium conditions with the Allentown Thermo IVC System. Designed with cutting-edge technology, this innovative system features dual-zone temperature control, offering both heated and non-heated surfaces. This allows mice to self-regulate their thermal environment, moving away from reliance on facility room temperatures that may fall below their preferred thermal neutral zone.
By empowering mice to manage their own thermal comfort, the Thermo IVC enhances animal welfare and promotes natural, species-specific behaviors. This advanced solution addresses critical aspects of thermoregulation and environmental control, making it the ideal choice for modern vivarium standards. Experience a new level of care and support for your research needs with the Allentown Thermo IVC System, where innovation meets the evolving requirements of animal husbandry.
