State of the art research technology
The NexGen rack is the only systems with air handling units integrated into the IVC as standard, giving you flexibility of use within your facility.
Discover why you should choose the NexGen IVC system for your facility ...
FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility of movement through a fully self-contained IVC system that maximises floor space and eliminates air handling connection errors.
ALLERGEN PROTECTION
Eliminate the risk of accidental disconnection or incorrect air change rates as the air handling unit always stays with the rack guaranteeing animal welfare and allergen protection is assured.
WIDE RANGE OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE
Available in single or double-sided units allowing flexibility for users, a mini version to fit perfectly in smaller spaces within your facility and a long version which is designed to accommodate the larger rat cages.
SENTINEL SCREENING
Sentinel screening can be performed on singular racks, rather than inter-linked IVC systems ensuring your commitment to 3Rs obligations are not compromised.
ANIMAL WELFARE
Positive and negative controls are implemented at the individual rack level to ensure the welfare of animals throughout the Individually Ventilated Cage (IVC) system.
EASIER ROUTINE CLEANING
You no longer need a separate rack washer as the plenums can be cleaned in situ whilst the air handling unit continues to run. Your team will benefit from easier routine cleaning as the rack mounted air handling units are easier to move around.
Your animals are our priority
Autowatering Available
You will guarantee the safety of your animals with an Allentown airflow system. This system ensures water will always drain out in the unfortunate event of an auto-watering flood.

“The USP with the cage design is the internal height. This increases the standard for the rat welfare in our industry. This design is the most ergonomic in my opinion”
“We received our installation of Allentown Rat 1800 TALL IVC caging in March 2024, the cages look fantastic, and the double height is a great welfare improvement on our standard caging. Along with our Mouse IVCs that were installed in October 2023 our animal housing rooms have had a fresh glow up! The team at Allentown were helpful and professional in the ordering and installation of these items.”
