A storage device for laboratory animals for physiological purposes Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory animal storage technology, specifically a physiological laboratory animal storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Physiology can be divided into microbial physiology, plant physiology, animal physiology and human physiology. Animal physiology, especially mammalian physiology, is closely related to human physiology. They have many commonalities and can be studied together. Physiological research often uses animals for scientific experiments. When using animals for scientific experiments, it is necessary to feed and store the animals.

[0003] However, most laboratory animals are stored in specialized storage boxes to facilitate experiments, observation of results, and transportation. To provide more space for the animals, the storage boxes are often several times the size of the animals. However, laboratory animals frequently need to be removed from the boxes for procedures such as blood draws and injections. When researchers try to retrieve the animals from the boxes, they often dart around in the large space, making it more difficult and increasing the risk of injury.
