The MEDILAB Animal Cage (Twin Grill), PP/SS, is a robust and hygienic housing solution designed for small laboratory animals used in research, breeding, and preclinical studies. Featuring a double stainless-steel grill system—one on top and one at the bottom—it ensures improved sanitation, feeding convenience, and enhanced mobility for the animals. This cage supports consistent welfare conditions, which directly contribute to reliable and reproducible research outcomes in modern scientific facilities.
