The BCU-2 is leading the way in Bio-Containment housing.
By choosing the BCU-2, you and your staff will be investing in a system specifically designed for multi-species research conducted in highly sensitive environments where containment of hazardous materials or pathogens is of the utmost importance.
Discover why the BCU-2 is leading the way in Bio-containment housing.
UNIQUE SMARTDOCK TECHNOLOGY
Allentown racks are the only system on the market which activates a “yellow” indicator ONLY when a cage is incorrectly docked. No indicator will show if the cage is purposely away from the rack or is docked correctly therefore preventing false negatives.
SIMPLE CAGE REMOVAL & WELFARE CHECKS
Cage-checking is easier with the BCU-2 rack’s innovative design. Simply pull the cage forward up to 75% of its length and the innovative runner design will hold the weight of the cage, allowing for hands-free viewing.
RACK MOUNTED AIR HANDLING UNITS
The Air handling units are on top of the rack in high containment areas enhance security by preventing accidental interference and creating ergonomic space for safer team operations.
BATTERY BACK UP
With over 20 hours of backup power available, blower redundancy, and wireless monitoring with alarm functionality, your team can be alerted and attend to animal welfare during emergencies within sufficient timescales.
UNIQUE PATENTED 4-POINT SEAL
When a cage is removed from the Allentown BCU-2 dock system, both the cage and the rack are sealed from the room. This is accomplished with quick disconnect couplings on both the cage and the rack which automatically seal once the cage is undocked. This innovation is covered by an Allentown Owned Patent and is a safety aspect that is not available to other manufacturers.
