RACS Rotating Cage System | Microbiotech

The MAB RACS Rotating Cage System is a quiet movement response system.  The system allows you to have multiple connections to external devices including infusion pumps and fraction collectors without the limitations of a swivel.  The Rotating Plate prevents the tangling, twisting and/or breakage of the inlet and outlet lines.

MAB RACS Rotating Cage System Includes a Rotating Plate, Support Stand and a Balancing Arm. Does not Include Cage and/or Bowl.  Can be fixed and adjusted to your preferred Cage or Bowl.

MAB RACS is designed to be used in applications involving awake smaller rodents where it is desired to connect different tubes/lines/wires etc. to the animal. RACS will allow for the animal to move around without entangling the different connections during movement. Sensors detect when the animal turns and send signals to rotate the plate in the different direction at a user defined speed depending on animal activity level.

A distinctive feature of MAB RACS is the flexible design of the balancing arm and the cage adapter. It is possible to adjust the height of the balancing arm, to a certain degree, as well as the length of the balancing arm and also to have the balancing arm rotate with the animal. This way the system easily fits with many of the different cages and containers used. Rectangular cage in sizes up to 47 x 27 cm or round bowls 27 x 27 cm may be used.
