The Innovive® Disposable Rodent Caging System offers the most compelling cost proposition for housing your rodents in the market today.
In addition to slashing upfront capital expenditures and infrastructure costs we also reduce operations and maintenance costs. The result is not only lower total costs, but increased flexibility in planning and budgeting.

01CAPITAL EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS:

• Our racks cost are about 50% less than any other IVC rack on the market.


• We dramatically reduce or eliminate the support infrastructure required to wash cages. This addresses capital investment in tunnel washers, autoclaves, bottle filling equipment or robotics required.


• Reduce or eliminate construction costs associated with building or renovating. This also mitigates the disturbance of animals during renovations.


• Eliminate the expenses accociated with cage wash operation.


• Easier planning: Reduced pressure to guess the size of the animal program 5 or 7 years from now, just add animal capacity as needed.

02REDUCED OPERATING COSTS :
A big concern for any manager is the ongoing costs of their operation, a concern we share. The cost of the innovive disposable is more than offset by the elimination of ongoing operating costs from your operation.

02.1LOW LABOR COSTS


• WASH ROOM LABOR: We eliminate all labor that is currently devoted to washing and sterilizing cages and bottles.


• ANIMAL TECHNICIAN LABOR:
  - Our improved airflow system allows you to extend change-outs to two week intervals without excessive ammonia build up (read more).
  - Using our pre-bedded cages, pre-filled water and densely packed cages (bags of 25 that fit under the change hood) eliminates multiple steps in the cage change process and lowers cage change times.


• TRANSPORTION LABOR:
  - We eliminate internal transport of racks and or cages to the cage wash facility. This can be considerable if racks or animal facilities are located remotely.

  The result is the elimination of:
  • Steam generation

  • Sewage drainage fees
  • Detergent costs

02.3OCCUPANCY:
A big concern for any manager is the ongoing costs of their operation, a concern we share. The cost of the innovive disposable is more than offset by the elimination of ongoing operating costs from your operation.

Preventative maintenance contracts for capital equipment no longer required:

• Washroom maintenance costs reduced or eliminated
