RWD induction chamber

The RWD induction chamber enables rapid induction of anaesthesia by inhalation (2-5 min), suitable for mice and rats. Made of transparent Plexiglas, it allows real-time observation of the animal’s condition, while limiting leakage thanks to a seal and efficient gas evacuation (activated carbon). Three sizes are available to suit different species.

Features of the RWD induction chamber

  • Sturdy transparent Plexiglas, easy to clean
  • Three sizes: S (15×10×10 cm), M (24×12×18 cm), L (40×18.5×25 cm)
  • Continuous observation of the animal during induction
  • Rapid gas entry and extraction
  • Efficient evacuation via activated carbon canister
  • Positive pressure seal
