Ammonia Levels in Animal Care Systems Cages in Higher Humidity Conditions

Animal Care System’s revolutionary approach to individual cage ventilation employs a unique one-pass low-velocity linear air technology which eliminates the introduction of air turbulence and high air velocity, while ensuring maximum cage air quality at a low airflow. Cage ammonia and other environmental parameters were measured in all three Animal Care Systems rack types (Optimice, Optirat Plus and Optirat GenII) at standard recommended airflow rates at higher humidity cage conditions between cage changes.
