Innovive Dual Filter IVC Lid for Innorack Mouse Cage Case of 100 Lids

Innovive MVX2 Dual-Filter Disposable IVC Mouse Cage Lids – Case of 100

The Innovive MVX2 is a high-performance, single-use Individually Ventilated Caging (IVC) mouse cage lid engineered exclusively for docking into the Innorack® IVC Mouse 3.5 ventilation rack systems. Molded from ultra-pure, 100% Bisphenol-A (BPA)-free polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, this model features an advanced dual-filter layout utilizing high-efficiency microbial filtration pads. This design facilitates exceptional passive gas exchange and maximum containment safety even during temporary power or rack ventilation failures. Supplied as a commercial facility logistics case of 100 stacked lids, the MVX2 arrives pre-validated, double-bagged, and fully gamma-irradiated to preserve a strict, pathogen-free barrier matching global biosecurity, transgenic animal holding, and GLP compliance protocols.

Technical Performance & Design

• High-Efficiency Dual-Filter System: Configured with two independent, specialized filter pads that provide a robust barrier against environmental contaminants and pathogens. This multi-pad design optimizes airflow distribution and heat/moisture release across the microenvironment.
• Passive Static Ventilation Safety: Engineered to protect animal cohorts during emergency ventilation drops or transport loops. If airflow from the IVC rack stops, the surface area of the dual filters permits sufficient passive diffusion to keep carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) accumulation below critical thresholds.
• BPA-Free PET Optical Clarity: Fabricated from premium-grade PET plastic that provides pristine optical monitoring. This lets technicians and veterinary staff easily evaluate feed levels, water lines, and general rodent posture without cracking the airtight cage seal.
• Aerosol Leak-Proof Gasket Profile: Designed with an integrated self-sealing perimeter ridge that locks flush against the matching Innocage® bottom. This creates a secure mechanical seal that prevents cage-to-cage allergen tracking and crossover contamination.

Key Benefits & Applications

• High-Throughput Vivarium Operations: Completely bypasses the demanding washing, acid treating, and autoclave cycles required by traditional polysulfone reusable lids. Fresh, sterile lids are pulled straight from the shipping carton, slashing labor overhead.
• Transgenic and Immunocompromised Maintenance: Provides a sterile barrier shield that protects high-value, immune-deficient, or humanized mouse lines from opportunistic bacterial or viral agents.
• Ergonomic and Safe Cage Swaps: The featherweight plastic construction reduces long-term repetitive strain risks for vivarium operators handling thousands of cage changes per shift compared to lifting heavy, rigid glass/metal setups.
• GLP Toxicological and Metabolic Assays: Establishes an uncompromised, uniform baseline across all study groups by eliminating the risks of variable detergent residue carryover or mineral build-up from automated cage wash tunnels.
