Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of physiological experimental auxiliary technology, and in particular relates to a storage device for experimental animals used in animal physiology. Background Technology

[0002] Physiology is the biological discipline that studies the functional activities of organisms. It includes the study of physiological activities at the organ and system level, cellular and molecular level, and the whole organism level, as well as experimental physiology, molecular physiology, and systems physiology. Physiology is a branch of biological science that studies the life activities of living organisms and the functions of their various components. Physiological experiments often require the use of multiple animals. In the process of using animals for experiments, storage devices are needed to house and raise the animals.

[0003] In the use of existing physiological laboratory animal storage devices, when it is necessary to conduct research on different laboratory animals at the same time, it is necessary to observe and store different laboratory animals at the same time. However, most existing devices use a single space to store and observe a single laboratory animal. When observing and storing multiple laboratory animals, multiple devices need to be used. It is not possible to use a single storage device to achieve the function of separate storage of different laboratory animals. The device has poor flexibility and poor usage effect.
