Manifolds - Cavern Design

EquaFlow™ Mouse and Rat Manifolds from In Vivo Concepts are comprised of optically silent plastic to enable optical imaging applications of up to 10 mice simultaneously.  The manifolds integrate a patented hyper-branching architecture to ensure equal delivery of anesthetic gas to each port while simultaneously scavenging waste gas via peripheral vacuum ring. These manifolds ensure that all animals remain anesthetized during imaging and most importantly, that researchers and technicians are not subjected to noxious, gaseous anesthesia during imaging experiments. The advantages of EquaFlow™ Manifolds are tangible features developed by our staff of Imaging Specialists over many years of small animal imaging experience.  Key highlights include:

• Hyperbranched: Equal dose to each port.
• Ergonomic: Animals lay in natural position.
• No optical obstructions.  Options include open top manifolds that do not block signals from mouth or head.
• Self-Scavenging: Integrated vacuum ring eliminates harmful waste gas exposure.
• Magnetized: Firmly grips to a benchtop base plate.
• Multi-Purpose: Use on bench top or within a macro optical imaging systems.
• Lower Flow: Hyperbranching enables lower flow rates relative to linear manifolds, thus reducing total reagent cost.
