Product Description
VIVA® Dual Access Animal Containment Workstation
The VIVA Dual Access Animal Workstation is a recirculating containment workstation for cage transfer and animal handling. It is not a biological safety cabinet: it protects the operator and the environment from animal dander, allergens and anesthetic gases, with ELISA-verified containment above 99%. Two people can work facing each other through the dual access opening, or a polycarbonate front cover converts it to single-person operation.
Key Features
 | Sentinel™ Gold Microprocessor Controller All safety information on one screen, centered and angled down for easy reach and viewing, with a selectable quickstart mode for fast operation. |
 | Large 14" Access Opening A 344 mm opening that accommodates rat and mouse cages, hinged up for easy cleaning, with dual access so two people can work from either side. |
 | Easy-to-Clean Work Surface and Drain Pan Two-piece, easy-to-lift stainless steel tray with a drain hole on both sides for dumping animal bedding. |
 | Advanced Work Tray Design V-shaped grill to avoid blocking, a center grill that separates the clean and contaminated areas, and a large tray handle for easy lifting. |
 | ULPA Filter with Activated Carbon Pre-Filter Ten times the filtration efficiency of HEPA, creating an ISO Class 3 work zone. An impregnated activated carbon pre-filter removes unpleasant odors. |
 | Isocide™ Antimicrobial Coating Silver-ion impregnated powder coat inhibits microbial growth to improve safety. |
