Overview
The Individually Ventilated Cage System for Guinea Pigs is the guinea-pig-specific IVC page in the ConductScience vivarium housing family. The current product data specifies a 1660 x 500 x 2220 mm rack footprint, polycarbonate cage material, polished SS304 rack construction, touchscreen AHU control, automatic air valves that close when cages are removed, life-air window filtering film for power-off ventilation, 96 x 56 mm cage card slots, and primary plus HEPA filtration.
Those details make the page useful for facilities comparing guinea-pig cage scale, colony tracking, cage-removal workflow, and ventilation planning before quote review. It should stay separate from mouse and rat IVC pages because the cage geometry, husbandry workflow, and card-slot planning are species-specific.
Scientific Use
Guinea-pig IVC housing supports behavioral pharmacology, cardiovascular, developmental biology, immunology, microbiology, and toxicology workflows where species-specific housing and controlled cage-level ventilation are part of the facility design.
Buying Fit
Choose this page when the facility is planning guinea-pig housing with polished SS304 rack construction, clear PC cage material, cage-card tracking, and valve behavior during cage changes. Compare with rat and rabbit IVC pages when planning a broader species-specific vivarium layout.

Practical Tips
Use the guinea-pig page when cage-card tracking, cage-removal valve behavior, and guinea-pig cage scale are part of the buying decision.
Why: Species-specific IVC selection affects cage scale, room fit, access workflow, and husbandry planning.
Validate cage-level supply and exhaust behavior after installation, filter changes, and rack movement.
Why: Individual cage ventilation depends on cage seating, filter condition, AHU setup, and room airflow conditions.
Record cage material, rack position, AHU settings, filter changes, and cage location in colony and facility records.
Why: Consistent housing records help research teams interpret long-running studies and simplify animal-care audits.

Compliance
How do I choose between the species-specific IVC pages?
Choose the guinea-pig IVC page when the facility needs guinea-pig cage scale, polished SS304 rack construction, automatic air valves, life-air window planning, and cage-card tracking.
What airflow and filtration path is specified?
The current product data specifies individual cage air supply and exhaust with primary plus HEPA filtration, coordinated through a touchscreen air handling unit.
What facility details should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm rack footprint, service clearance, 110V-250V power where specified, room airflow, filter access, cage count, husbandry workflow, and monitoring expectations during quote review.
Can this be reviewed with the rest of the ConductScience IVC family?
Yes. Quote review can compare mouse PC, mouse PSU, high-density mouse, rat, rabbit, and guinea-pig IVC options so the final configuration fits the species and room plan.
