INNOVIVE SYSTEM, key elements:
The Innovive IVC system combines state of the art ventilation technology with a single-use disposable cage.
The Innorack®IVC is the high-performance dual-ventilated HEPA filtered racking system designed specifically for disposable rodent caging for mice.
Innorack®IVC supports positive and negative modes of operation. It is lightweight and modular, with superior airflow, ergonomics and cage density.

INNOVIVE SYSTEM, what makes us different:
- 01 HIGH-PERFORMANCE: BEST AIRFLOW FOR YOUR ANIMALS (in-depth here):
Innorack's® state-of-the-art airflow system uses transversal airflow that results in high precision ventilation while providing a gentle animal environment.
Third-party research shows that our cages have 5X lower levels of NH3 and CO2 than traditional systems, which results in:- better breeding results
- 14 days changeouts
- 02UNBEATABLE ECONOMICS:
We offer our customers an unbeatable value proposition:- LOWEST TOTAL COST available. In addition to our high performance racks costing 50% less than traditional racks, we eliminate the capital expenditure on all cage processing equipment
- LOW OPERATION COST due to reduced labor, utilities, maintenance and washing supplies.
- LOWER CONSTRUCTION COSTS increased animal housing space due to no-washroom vivarium and low footprint/high capacity rack structure.
- 03 ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED:
No-cagewash operation, provided by Innovive system, is better for workers and managers alike:- REDUCED ALLERGEN EXPOSURE due to our dual HEPA-filtered system protection and the elimination of washrooms
- Lightweight cages and simplified processes allow everyone to spend more time on science and less time dealing with dirty cages
- 04 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY:
Our IVC racks are designed for Innovive single-use caging that eliminates traditional large-scale washing operations from your vivarium:- All our cages are FULLY RECYCLABLE.
- ENERGY-SAVING VIVARIUM, due to elimination of energy-intensive cagewash operation.
- WATER-SAVING OPERATIONS; no-washroom vivarium saves million of gallons of water/year.

- 05 SIMPLIFIED FLEXIBLE VIVARIUM:
Our IVC racks are designed for Innovive single-use caging that eliminates a traditional large-scale washing operations from your vivarium:- FLEXIBILITY in building up your animal colony, since the size of the facility is not tied up to the washroom capacity
- SIMPLIFIED PROCESSES, since no cage processing is required. This also allows for a more productive use of scientific personnel
- No-washroom vivarium also yelds the benefit of LOW CONTAMINATION RISK, protecting your animals, while our dual-HEPA-filtered system protects personnel
What he found when he tapped the marketplace were several caging options, all of which were very expensive and had very long delivery lead times. He then began to learn about the even more expensive washing infrastructure and extensive ongoing operations that would be required as well.
He wondered why nobody made a disposable cage....and Innovive was born.
By the summer of 2003 initial designs were on the table and shortly thereafter the company was founded by him and another engineer, who had a background in air-flow systems and fluid dynamics - the perfect skill set for taking a fresh look at how to engineer the perfect ventilation system for rodents.
Today Innovive's patent pending Innorack® and Innocage® are in use at dozens of the most well known institutions across the nation, as well as in Europe, Japan and Taiwan.
