Air Flow

The Micro-VENT system maintains a consistent air exchange within the micro environment to eliminate the effects of ammonia, CO2 and humidity build-up by introducing the HEPA filtered air into the housing system.

The Micro-VENT system is additionally designed to capture the effluent air from each cage as it escapes through the perimeter of the Micro-Barrier System.

The Micro-VENT system utilizes a "U" channel that guides the cage into position as well as providing a channel to capture dust, dander and cage particulate emanating from the cage, preventing them from entering the macro room environment.
