The most advanced and versatile automated CO2 delivery system on the market.

Four separate gas levels are controlled independently. Specific species can be designated for a single chamber or any combination of chambers. Chambers can be programmed and cycles started while other levels are in use. The MSVF system increases flexibility to maximize operating efficiency.

The TSVF-4 automates a three-stage euthanasia cycle by controlling flow rate and timing variables. At start of cycle, doors automatically lock and will not unlock until CO2 evacuation is complete.

Stage One secures doors, anesthetizes animals by slowly raising CO2 concentration, and automatically adjusts gas flow to bring CO2 to euthanizing concentrations.
Stage Two (Dwell Time) all CO2 shuts off and utilizes the fully charged chamber to ensure proper euthanasia of all animals.
Stage Four evacuates all CO2, shuts down the system once the chambers are fully purged, and unlocks the chamber doors.

Clear poly-carbonate doors provide visibility while the front-loading, swing-down design offers easy cage access. The airtight, gasket-sealed doors prevent gas leakage during operation. The manifold design ensures even gas distribution. The system accommodates the full range of rodent cages from all manufacturers. The included cart provides mobility for easy chamber cleaning.
