Researchers asked us to build a larger cage, so we created OptiRAT Plus.
OptiRAT Plus combines our proven motor-free technology with our high-density carousel design.
- Ultra-high density, maximum capacity
- No motors or blowers, uses no electricity
- Superior biological containment and isolation
- No noise or vibrations
- Eliminates odors and allergens in the room
- Reduces energy costs
- Easy to maintain
Based on the patented direct exhaust ventilation technology used in our original M.I.C.E. System, OptiRAT Plus provides ultra-high density for large rodents. Like our other carousel design racks, OptiRAT Plus can be positioned against a wall or next to another rack. By rotating the carousel using conveniently located handles on each platter, cages are easily accessed. There’s no need to waste space with large aisles, and no need to move racks for access. Simply stand in one place and bring the cage to you.
