The Double-Side Hanging Rack with Mouse Cages is a SS304 stainless steel housing system engineered for efficient mouse colony management in research facilities. The dual-access configuration maximizes floor space utilization while providing researchers and animal care staff convenient access from both sides of the rack for routine husbandry procedures, animal monitoring, and cage maintenance.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant SS304 stainless steel, this mobile system accommodates standard mouse breeding tubs and includes lockable casters for facility transport while maintaining stability during animal handling. The double-sided design supports systematic colony organization essential for breeding programs, experimental cohort management, and longitudinal study protocols.
How It Works
The rack system utilizes a dual-sided hanging configuration that maximizes vertical space efficiency while providing independent access points for animal care procedures. Standard mouse breeding tubs are suspended within the SS304 stainless steel framework, allowing air circulation around each housing unit while maintaining structural stability during routine handling operations.
The lockable caster system enables facility mobility for cleaning protocols and room reorganization while providing secure positioning during animal procedures. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from disinfectants and maintains structural integrity under repeated cleaning cycles, supporting long-term colony management requirements.
The double-sided access design allows simultaneous operation by multiple staff members, improving workflow efficiency during routine husbandry tasks such as cage changing, health monitoring, and experimental animal identification procedures.

Practical Tips
Establish regular inspection schedules for caster wheel function and frame integrity, particularly focusing on locking mechanisms and joint connections.
Why: Preventive maintenance ensures safe mobility and operational reliability during routine animal care procedures.
Implement systematic cage labeling visible from both sides of the rack to maintain colony tracking accuracy during dual-access operations.
Why: Consistent identification prevents errors during simultaneous staff operations and maintains experimental integrity.
Always engage caster locks before performing animal handling procedures or cage maintenance to prevent unexpected rack movement.
Why: Rack stability during animal procedures prevents stress to animals and reduces injury risk to staff.
Position the rack to allow minimum 3-foot clearance on both sides for comfortable staff access and emergency procedures.
Why: Adequate clearance optimizes ergonomics and ensures efficient workflow during routine husbandry tasks.
Clean stainless steel surfaces with appropriate disinfectants following manufacturer guidelines to prevent corrosion and maintain sanitary conditions.
Why: Proper cleaning protocols preserve material integrity and support facility biosecurity requirements.
If casters become difficult to maneuver, inspect wheels for debris accumulation and lubricate bearing mechanisms according to specifications.
Why: Regular wheel maintenance prevents damage to flooring and ensures smooth rack mobility during facility operations.
Document rack capacity utilization and cage positioning to maintain accurate colony records and support experimental tracking requirements.
Why: Systematic documentation supports research reproducibility and facilitates efficient colony management protocols.
