How it Works
How it Works
For decades, bio-research facilities have relied on negative air pressure containment to secure and handle the world’s most dangerous
biological agents. The same principle extends to our exhaust ventilation technology, which uses negative pressure from the animal room
exhaust system to draw and filter room air through cages and racks in a one-pass flow pattern, providing superior air quality and complete
bio-isolation between the cages and surrounding room. This technology eliminates airborne contaminants, including allergens, waste gases,
and thermal loads at the cage level. Our caging systems improve and control air quality for animals, personnel, and the environment.
1. Fresh or HEPA-filtered air, represented in blue, is supplied by
the building’s HVAC system to the animal room.
2. Since the racks are connected to the negatively pressurized
exhaust system, this fresh air (blue arrows) is drawn into cages
through their inlet filters at the appropriate flow rate to maintain
the cage at the same temperature and relative humidity as the
room.

How it Works
3. The air then leaves each cage through its rear exhaust filter
and passes into the rack’s central plenum. Red arrows indicate
the various points at which air is drawn into the exhaust system,
whether through the animal racks or from the room directly. The
building’s exhaust system then evacuates this air, represented in
yellow, and it is processed and released to the outside.
Each stage in this succession represents a drop in relative air
pressure, which completely eliminates the possibility of material
traveling backward through the air circuit. This pressure drop,
however, is quite small, and allows for a controlled low-velocity,
one-pass airflow pattern that is free from turbulence and
excessive dry air turnover. In addition, all ACS caging systems
achieve a total volume air change within each cage, which results
in exceptional air quality for the animals and a very stable microenvironment. The high-density configuration and energy-free
operation provide substantial operational savings.

Optimice
Highest Cage Density in the Industry
Revolutionary Caging System
Based on the patented direct exhaust
ventilation technology used in the original
M.I.C.E. System, Optimice boasts the highest
cage density in the industry, optimizing the
density-value equation.
• Small footprint, ultra-high density
Optimice can be positioned against a wall or
next to another rack. By rotating the carousel
using conveniently located handles on each
platter, cages are easily accessed. There’s no
need to waste space with large aisles, and no
need to move racks for access. Simply stand
in one place and bring the cages to you.
Because Optimice creates an ideal
environment, it is perfect for breeding,
quarantine, bio-exclusion, and conventional
rodent housing for research.
Optimice is simply the best possible system
for optimizing space and enhancing the
quality of life for animals and their caregivers.

Ergomice
Animal Care Systems’ Ergomice provides a
compact and ergonomic caging system with
all the features and benefits of our Optimice
system.
The Ergomice line of racks provides a
lightweight, lower-cost alternative to the
Optimice caging, and is available in 50-,
70-, or 80-cage capacities. The 70-cage
model eliminates the bottom three levels to
minimize the need to bend down for access,
while the 80-cage model has reduced height
to accommodate shorter personnel; the
50-cage model incorporates both of these
features but has the lowest animal density.
Ergomice racks use our standard Optimice
cages and accessories, which are available in
polycarbonate or two types of polysulfone
plastic. While the 80-cage configuration has
all the same watering options as Optimice,
the 50- and 70-cage versions are not available
with Auto-Watering options; bottles and
other individual cage watering options are
available (external bottles, water pouches,
etc.).

Optirat Plus
Our Largest, Most Advanced Cages
Optirat Plus features
Optirat Plus combines our proven motor‑free,
exhaust ventilated technology and highdensity carousel design with vastly increased
cage volume while improving ease of use
and maintenance. The feeder is located near
the rear of the cage for improved visibility,
and the water bottles are externally located
to allow changing without opening cages.
Optirat Plus racks each contain 30 cages,
arrayed in six levels of five cages per level,
and each cage is equipped with a 1.1‑liter
feeder and two 500-mL water bottles or
optional water bag adapters; Auto-Watering is
also available.
• Ultra-large cages; improved height and
floor area
As with all ACS racks, Optirat Plus meets
domestic and international housing
recommendations and exceeds animal
comfort guidelines while providing highdensity caging for rats and other large
rodents. Like our other carousel-style racks,
Optirat Plus can be positioned against a wall
or next to another rack. The rotating carousel
provides easy cage access without moving
racks or forming large aisles. Simply stand in
one place and bring the cages to you.

Optirat
The Optirat caging system is built on the same
structural frame as Optimice and employs
the same motor-free, exhaust ventilated
technology as all ACS caging systems. Optirat
cages are large enough to comfortably
accommodate rats and provide superior
visibility, thanks to the wide front face.
Optirat racks each contain 42 cages, arrayed
in seven levels with six cages per level. Each
cage is equipped with two standard Optimice
400-mL water bottles and a 1.1-liter (1.2qt.) stainless steel feeder. Optirat cages are
available in the same three plastic options as
all standard ACS cages: amber polysulfone,
smoke polysulfone, and clear polycarbonate.
Like our other carousel-style racks, Optirat
can be positioned against a wall or next to
another rack. The rotating carousel provides
easy cage access without moving racks or
forming large aisles. Simply stand in one
place and bring the cages to you.

M.I.C.E.
Motor-Free Technology
M.I.C.E.®
The original M.I.C.E. System is a modular, high-density vented
caging system for healthy housing of rodents. These systems are
available in a wide variety of sizes, from the smallest 14-cage
system, ideal for small studies and experiments, to large 140-cage
racks suitable for installation in medium-to-large animal rooms.
Each size of rack is based on multiples of the 14-cage module.
M.I.C.E. caging systems are sold in both single-sided and doublesided versions.
The M.I.C.E. system is the only rodent caging system in the world
validated for Microenvironmental comfort, Isolation, Containment,
and Enrichment (M.I.C.E.). The M.I.C.E. rack is vented using a
building’s HVAC exhaust system, with a natural convective assist
from the populated cages themselves. With no blowers, it is
appropriate and safe even in case of power failure -- a unique
feature that separates the vented M.I.C.E. system from electrically
powered and blower-ventilated racks.

QuatroAire
Venting & Ducting
Animal Care Systems Quatro Aire
Quatro Aire is a self-contained canister ventilator intended for use
with an ACS rack when room exhaust ventilation is not available
for the purpose. Each Quatro Aire unit is fitted with either single
or dual exhaust hose thimble connectors.
As air is drawn through the Quatro Aire system, it undergoes
three stages of filtration before being released back into the room
through the louvers near the bottom. A pre-­filter removes larger
particles from the air, and a HEPA filter removes remaining smaller
particles, rendering the air mechanically pure. Finally, an activated
carbon bed removes odorous chemicals that may also represent a
significant breathing hazard to personnel and animals.
New Photo
Coming Soon
The Quatro Aire unit has three operation speeds and can move up
to 120 cubic feet of air per minute with sufficient static pressure
needed to ventilate an ACS rack.
