Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mouse experimental cages, in particular to a mouse transport cage. Background Art

[0002] As an indispensable research object in the biomedical field, mice have made important contributions to the research in related fields such as medicine and pharmacy. Therefore, the breeding of mice is indispensable throughout the research process. Although the animal breeding space of each research unit or school is limited or compact, some problems can be solved through foster care by qualified external units or companies;

[0003] However, in the whole research process, each part of the experiment or a single part of the experiment often needs to set up multiple groups of experimental verifications, and each group of experiments requires multiple mice. As mentioned above, the problem of mouse breeding can be solved, but there is a cruel fact in reality, that is, when research institutes or schools configure high-end experimental instruments or expensive experimental instruments, they often purchase them collectively and install them in a research building or a specific place. This is the main trend at present. This can save a lot of money and avoid repeated purchases. Secondly, such a setting can bring together the previously scattered scientific research and form a cross-disciplinary and multi-team research. Third, it can save a lot of land resources.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned settings are often far away from where experimental animals are raised. Therefore, when experimental mice need to use these instruments, such as whole-body irradiation, in vivo imaging and other specific instruments to assist in the research, they need to be transported over long distances, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] Existing mice are kept in single cages, so when multiple groups of experimental mice need to be moved, it is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, in order to save a lot of manpower and time, we want to design a smart experimental mouse transport cage to save researchers' time and physical costs and help scientific research.
