Cage & Rack Washers for Vivarium and Animal Research Facilities
Cage and rack washers are essential for maintaining proper sanitation in vivariums and animal research facilities. These automated washing systems are designed to efficiently clean cages, racks, transport carts, bottles, and other animal housing equipment while maintaining consistent hygiene standards required for laboratory research.
At Geneva Scientific, we provide high-performance cage and rack washing systems engineered for reliability, efficiency, and high-throughput cleaning in demanding research environments.
Automated Cleaning for Animal Housing Equipment
Cage and rack washers are designed to streamline the cleaning process for large volumes of equipment used in vivariums. Automated wash cycles combine detergent washing, high-temperature rinsing, and controlled drying to thoroughly remove biological contaminants, bedding residue, and other debris.
These systems help research facilities:
- Maintain strict sanitation protocols for animal housing
- Reduce the risk of cross-contamination between studies
- Improve operational efficiency with automated cleaning cycles
- Process large volumes of cages and racks quickly and consistently
- Reduce manual labor and cleaning time
Reliable cage sanitation helps ensure the integrity of research results while supporting animal health and welfare.
Built for High-Throughput Vivarium Operations
Modern cage and rack washers are engineered to support the fast-paced workflows found in large animal research facilities. Their high-capacity design allows laboratories to process cages, racks, and accessories efficiently throughout the day.
Typical equipment that can be cleaned includes:
