Waste Collection Behavioral Research Lab Equipments

The Waste Collection System is designed to provide a comprehensive approach to understanding animal body mass phenotype by combining respiratory metabolism assessment with digestive efficiency through the analysis of collected urine and feces. The system includes a home cage section with refillable food and drink dispensers, a smooth grid floor, and resting tube accessories to improve animal comfort and minimize stress. A dedicated lower section collects waste using a separating cone, collection funnel, urine ring, and removable sampling tubes. The system can be integrated with indirect calorimetry equipment, activity monitoring accessories, software, and optional physiological data acquisition accessories. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, animal comfort and reliable performance for metabolic and physiological research.
