Multi-Functional Anesthesia Setup

The system aims to provide one complete solution to both initial and lasting anesthesia of small rodents for the majority of procedures such as development of animal disease models (cerebral ischemia, myocardial ischemia and osteoporosis disease models), tail-vein injection, blood sampling from abdominal aorta and heart, drug injection to ventricle, remove of tissue/organ, anatomy of body and so on. The cone mask with minimal dead space can be randomly positioned by vertical and angular adjustments, and the waste gas from animal will be “pushed” out to charcoal filter canister to minimize exposure to the research subjects.

Features:

• Anesthesia stable and safe，suitable for animal experiments with low metabolic rate.
• Quick and smooth induction and recovery, controllable anesthetic depth.
• Minimal physiological disruptions on the animals.
• High efficiency gas evacuation system preventing the researchers from exposure to anesthesia gas

Technical Specifications:

• High accuracy vaporizer (Each one has an independent test report)
• Fast oxygenation switch, oxygenation speed up to 10 L/min
• Toggle switch, fast switching gas path, life expectancy is more than 100,000 times
• Air or oxygen can be selected as the gas source
• 0-4L/min oxygen flow meter, additional flowmeter mounting holes on the side, expandable dual air supply
• Mask could be used in special MR Environment
• High-quality activated carbon, effectively absorbs anesthesia medical.

Scope of Delivery:

Five cone masks are installed one Manifold (Cat No.68657) to accommodate up to five mice or three rats for procedures at the same time. Accordingly, the waste gases will be adsorbed by charcoal filter canister.

This solution is given another type of cone masks that installed onto one anesthesia operation platform to delivery anesthetic gases to animal’s nose.The mask can be adjusted vertically for different applications as well as different sizes of rodents.The waste gas outside the mask gathered under bowl-like lid and is drawn by evacuation system to reduce the investigator exposure.

The platform has screws on left and right sides and can bind animal’s legs with strings while required. In addition, heating blanket can be optionally placed onto the platform for warming the animal.

About RWD Anesthesia

RWD Life Science has been always dedicated to study and provide perfect and competitive inhalation anesthesia systems that have great practical value to the life science research community. Multiple complete solutions to different procedures in mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, monkey, pig etc. have been set up, which has remarkable and even exclusive advantages over existing system, for example:

1. Precise and stable control of anesthetic agents output regardless of environmental changes like pressure, temperature and air flow within the specific limits.
2. The miniaturized design like anesthesia machines and scavenging system helps to improve laboratory space utilization.
3. Unique stereotaxic frame nosecone masks and cone masks with tiny sizes satisfy more delicate surgeries like craniocerebral and ophthalmological surgery, and at the same time minimize harmful exposure to the research subjects while connecting to evacuation system.
4. The latest-designed waste gas evacuation system with weighing (Cat No.R546W) brings research subjects great convenience.
5. Higher performance to price ratio helps research subjects to reduce their expense while maintaining successful research.
6. High adsorption efficiency of activated charcoal filter canister (Cat No.R510-31 & R510-31S).

Advantages of Inhalation Anesthesia:

1. Can offer an improved level of control over depth and duration of anesthesia, especially for prolonged procedures.
2. To be relatively insoluble and faster elimination in blood enables rapid recovery.
3. Be of rapid onset and offset with minimal side effects.
4. Have little or no toxic effects thanks to non-metabolism characteristic of Sevoflurane and Isoflurane.
5. Be more safer and efficient performance to reduce morbidity rates and increase the chance for successful outcomes.
