Apparatus for hosting animal organisms in a controlled and reversible hypothermic and hypometabolic condition<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The device accommodates small rodents, making it possible to modulate the ambient temperature along with other parameters such as brightness; it also makes it possible to devise customised thermal adaptation protocols and thus accelerate and optimize experimental activity. Thanks to this system, torpor can be induced in the animal, so that experiments based on hibernation can be carried out.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4368″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The device allows laboratory experiments to be carried out on small animals, such as mice, rodents, which are normally hosted in large colonies or in enclosures together with other animals.<\/p>\n

This system can accommodate an animal under controlled conditions, such as temperature, by putting them into a state of torpor \u2013 hibernation that can facilitate some lines of research. The same device can also be used on pets that have special needs, such as hibernation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
