BCU-2™: the gold standard in negative pressure biocontainment
The BCU-2™ was designed as a safe and effective alternative to glove-box insulators, in collaboration with researchers who needed a reliable solution. Since its introduction in 1997, this Sealed Negative Pressure IVC has proven its status as the ultimate choice for biocontainment enclosure time and again.
What makes the BCU-2™ unique?
- Closed negative-pressure system: offers optimum protection against the spread of contaminants in your examination room.
- Patented 4-point sealing technology: guarantees a strong and reliable barrier against external influences.
- Certified HEPA filtration: ensures extremely clean airflow, essential for sensitive research applications.
- Flexible for multiple species: Suitable for mice and hamsters (with PFT feed), with an internal height of 6 inches meeting the guidelines of The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Also available in sizes for rats.
- Ergonomically designed: Easy to handle, reducing both stress for animals and strain on staff.
With more than 20 years of experience, the BCU-2™ remains the benchmark for biocontainment housing, focusing on safety, flexibility and ease of use.
