RWD Isoflurane anaesthesia unit
The RWD R500 system is a compact, modular device designed for small animals (< 7 kg) such as rats and mice. It incorporates a high-precision vaporiser (ISO 0-5%) with automatic compensation for flow rate and temperature, guaranteeing a stable concentration independent of environmental variations.
Features of the RWD Isoflurane Anaesthesia Unit
- Compact, modular design, ideal for laboratories with limited space
- High-precision vaporiser, each unit individually tested
- Filling types available: Pour Fill, Easy Fill, Key Fill
- Oxygen flow rate: 0.1-4 L/min, with rapid flush function at 10 L/min
- Reliable circuit switching (+100,000 cycles), oxygen or pure air input
- Used in over 10,000 institutions worldwide (Yale, Harvard, etc.)
