RWD Taiji Anaesthesia Unit

The TAIJI small animal anaesthesia machine, designed by RWD Life Science, is operational immediately after unpacking, with no installation required. Its dual-channel control (chamber and mask) simplifies and speeds up animal experiments.

Features of the RWD Taiji Anaesthesia Unit

  • Integrated design, compact structure for space-saving and easy transport.
  • Each individually tested vaporiser delivers a reliable, stable concentration regardless of variations in flow, temperature or pressure.
  • Tilted oxygen flush button for reduced pressure during operation.
  • Easy Fill method for flexible, airtight anaesthetic filling.
  • Optimised interfaces, fluid ergonomics for efficient daily use.
  • Two independent channels, dedicated switching between chamber and mask for greater experimental efficiency.
