Plas-Labs poultry isolation unit, double cubicle

NB.35

These poultry isolation units are designed to protect, both, your fowl and the personnel from cross contamination. They are ideal for both acute and chronic studies. Because of the integrity of each compartment, multiple species can be housed in the same room if desired. All units are set up for negative pressure operation as a standard arrangement. Positive pressure set up (factory installed) is also available if preferred.
The isolation cubicles are match die-molded of "hi-tech" thermoset plastic that is autoclavable or steam sterilization. Cubicles are warm; absorb sound (quiet) and soft to the touch of various species. The problem of hypothermia is eliminated.
Watering requirements:
The isolation unit is set up to accept your house watering supply system OR, a separate water source on top of the unit. The water hoses are ½ in. inside diameter (12 mm). NOTE: Young birds that are one or two days old cannot activate the automatic watering cups. You must provide a small watering dish until they are old enough to activate the watering cup levers.

Feeding requirements:
The isolation unit includes a stainless steel "gravity fed" feeding unit. The unit will hold about 12 to 14 pounds of feed (5 to 6 kg) which should last eight to ten days, depending upon the age (size) of the fowl. Feed is introduced via the feed "chute"mounted on the front door.
Filter change over requirements:
The isolation unit is set up for negative pressure operation. Cages include two HEPA filters. One each at the air make up inlet and also the exhaust outlet. Pre-filters should be inspected weekly for dirt and "dander" build up. Pre-filters are very inexpensive and should be changed frequently. Pre-filters protect the more expensive HEPA filters. Both the pre-filters and main HEPA filters can be changed from out side the cage in just a few moments.

Waste pan change out:
Each isolation unit includes one waste pan. Pans are easily removed by opening the lower "trap door" and pulling out the pan.
