VivoTherm Induction Chamber Heater

Maintain animal body temperature and improve anesthetic stability with the VivoTherm™ IC Induction Chamber Heater, a purpose-built solution for controlled warming during induction.

As described in our Tech Note, the VivoTherm IC is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard induction chambers (150 x 150 x 300 mm or smaller) and deliver consistent, uniform heat to help counteract rapid heat loss commonly observed during isoflurane induction. By stabilizing thermal conditions, it supports more reliable physiology and improved experimental consistency.

Key Features

Consistent Thermal Support
Provides controlled, uniform (see thermal image) heating to the chamber base, helping maintain animal body temperature throughout induction.

Improved Physiological Stability
Minimizes hypothermia-related variability, supporting smoother inductions and more reproducible outcomes.

Seamless Integration
Compact design fits directly beneath standard induction chambers without interfering with ports or workflows.

Simple Temperature Control
External controller allows easy adjustment and monitoring of heating levels.

Durable, Lab-Ready Design
Built for routine use in research environments and compatible with standard cleaning protocols.

Applications

• Small animal anesthesia induction
• Pre-imaging preparation (PET, CT, MRI, optical)
• Studies sensitive to thermal variability
• General laboratory animal workflows

Why It Matters

As demonstrated in internal testing, animals can experience rapid heat loss during induction, even over short time periods. The VivoTherm™ IC Induction Chamber Heater helps mitigate this effect, providing a more controlled, stable environment that improves both animal welfare and data quality.
