Advancing Research Through Precision, Reliability, and Animal Welfare
In modern biomedical research, the ability to collect accurate and reproducible data is essential. Tecniplast’s Analysis product family has been specifically developed to support researchers with advanced solutions for metabolic studies, activity monitoring, and circadian rhythm investigations. Combining innovative design, operational flexibility, and a strong focus on animal welfare, these systems help laboratories generate high-quality scientific outcomes while streamlining daily workflows.
Metabolic Systems Designed for Reliable Results
Tecniplast Metabolic Cages are engineered to provide precise separation and collection of urine and feces through a specially designed funnel and separation cone system. This unique configuration minimizes sample contamination and enables accurate metabolic measurements. At the same time, features such as removable collection tubes and a drawer-style feeder allow researchers to perform routine operations with minimal disturbance to the animals, reducing stress and contributing to more reliable experimental data.
The systems offer exceptional flexibility, accommodating both mice and rats of different sizes through easily interchangeable components. Manufactured from durable, technopolymers, the cages are designed for long-term use and easy maintenance.
The availability of a red version of the metabolic cage for individual mice, equipped with a red upper chamber and lid, further supports animal welfare by creating a less stressful environment, ultimately improving the reliability of the collected data.
Refrigerated collection options further enhance sample preservation, making the systems suitable for a wide range of metabolic research applications.
E-Chiller: Preserving Sample Integrity
To support advanced metabolic studies, Tecniplast offers the E-Chiller, an electronic cooling device compatible with all Tecniplast metabolic cages. The system maintains urine and feces at a controlled temperature between 4°C and 20°C, helping to slow biochemical degradation and preserve sample quality throughout the experiment.
Unlike traditional cooling methods, the E-Chiller provides precise electronic temperature control, preventing unwanted fluctuations that could impact research outcomes. Its intuitive plug-and-play interface simplifies operation and eliminates the need for pre-frozen cooling elements, reducing laboratory complexity while improving workflow efficiency.
Monitoring Physical Activity and Circadian Rhythms
Understanding animal behavior is a key component of many research protocols. Tecniplast’s Rodent Activity Wheel offers a practical and effective solution for monitoring physical activity in both mice and rats. Particularly valuable for circadian rhythm studies, behavioral research, and drug testing, the system enables researchers to measure activity levels in response to environmental or chemical stimuli while supporting animal fitness and wellbeing.
Complementing these capabilities is the innovative LEDDY & RED Cage system, a fully programmable wireless lighting solution designed for circadian rhythm research. By combining a red-tinted cage with programmable LED lighting, researchers can create dedicated light cycles directly within the home cage environment. This allows multiple experiments with different lighting protocols to run simultaneously in the same IVC rack, eliminating the need for dedicated rooms and increasing research efficiency.
Innovation Supporting Better Science
Tecniplast’s Analysis Solutions portfolio reflects the company’s commitment to supporting modern research through innovation, flexibility, and animal-centered design. From metabolic monitoring and sample preservation to activity tracking and circadian rhythm studies, these technologies help researchers generate more consistent, reproducible, and scientifically valuable results while enhancing operational efficiency and animal welfare.
