Induction Box
Only available in Belgium
Features
The UNO Induction Box combined with the UNO Gas Exhaust Unit can be used for inducing inhalation anesthesia
with rats and mice. (An anesthetic gas mixture from a flowmeter/vaporizer should be available.)
The Induction Chamber is made in 10 mm thick acrylic with an inlet hose connector at bottom level and at the oppossite side an outlet ø23 mm (at the level of the lid).
The special designed lid can be opened by vertical sliding the lid off of the induction chamber. When the induction chamber is connected to the UNO Gas Exhaust Unit and the lid is closed, very little
air (anesthetic gas mixture) is being exhausted from the Induction Chamber because of a relativ high internal resistance for the ventilator of the UNO Gas Exhaust Unit. Therefore the animal is optimally exposed to the anesthetic gas mixture. The lid closes the Induction chamber very well but not 100% airtight!
As soon as the animal is anesthesized, the lid of the induction chamber can be slightly slided open. By sliding the lid only a little bit open (± 1cm), the internal resistance from the exhaust ventilator is reduced and the UNO Gas Exhaust Unit is immediately exhausting at maximum capacity, thus pre- venting the anesthetic gas mixture to escape from the induction chamber into the room/working area.
The
induction chamber is thus rapidly emptied from the anesthetic gas mixture and the lid can slided open to get the anesthesized animal (mouse or rat) out.
Finally it can be mentioned that the UNO Gas Exhaust Unit can also be connected to an Active Charcoal Filter (for absorbing the isoflurane) or to an appropriate “in-house” exhaust system.
