The Optirat IVC caging system is built on the same structural frame as Optimice and employs the same motor-free, exhaust ventilated technology as all ACS caging systems.
Optirat cages are large enough to comfortably accommodate rats and other species and provides superior visibility, thanks to the wide front face. Optirat racks each contain 42 cages, arrayed in seven levels with six cages per level. Each cage is equipped with two standard Optimice 400 m water bottles and a 1.1 liter (1.2 qt.) stainless steel feeder.
Optirat cages are available in the same three plastic options as all standard ACS cages, amber polysulfone, smoke polysulfone, and clear polycarbonate. Like our other carousel-style racks, Optirat can be positioned against a wall or next to another rack. The rotating carousel provides easy cage access without moving racks or forming large aisles. Simply stand in one place and bring the cages to you.
Optirat IVC rack includes:
42 rat cage assemblies with filters, feeders, cage cards, and water bottles (if so configured), available in polycarbonate (M suffix), amber polysulfone (P suffix), or smoke polysulfone (S suffix)
