[0002] The IVC cage is an independent ventilation cage, which is an instrument used in the fields of biology, animal husbandry and veterinary science. The silicone safety gasket shaped by a special mold can ensure leakage prevention under both positive pressure and negative pressure. The quick rebound clamp designed according to the purpose ensures the absolute sealing of the cage cover and the cage body, even when the cage is taken off the cage rack. The automatically closed air supply and exhaust pipeline ensures the integration of the cage and the low-speed air diffusion in each cage (mouse level < 0.13 m / s). Each Sealsafe top is also equipped with an internal replaceable front filter to prevent the accumulation of dust particles caused by continuous high-pressure exhaust for at least 4 weeks to maintain constant air flow in each cage. The unified water bottle low pressure includes an external water bottle that can be used for all IVC cages, which ensures the minimum number of times the cage is opened.
