Overview
The Individually Ventilated Cage System for Mice (Polysulfone, Autoclavable) is the autoclavable PSU cage path in the ConductScience mouse IVC family. It combines polysulfone cage construction, SS304 stainless rack hardware, individual air supply and exhaust per cage, primary plus HEPA filtration, and touchscreen AHU control for mouse housing workflows where sterilization cadence and cage durability are major purchasing requirements.
The current live product data specifies PSU cage material rated for repeated 121 C autoclave cycles, a 1760 x 530 x 1750 mm rack footprint, 110V-250V power compatibility, CE/ISO/RoHS certifications, and semi-automated touchscreen control. The PSU version is the stronger fit when the facility wants a mouse IVC platform that can be cleaned and cycled through repeated sterilization between cohorts.
Scientific Use
Autoclavable PSU IVC housing is useful for SPF colonies, immunology, microbiology, oncology, toxicology, neuroscience, and behavioral pharmacology workflows where cage cleaning, decontamination, and cage-level ventilation need to be coordinated. HEPA-filtered independent cage airflow helps teams plan cleaner housing conditions for sensitive or long-running mouse studies.
Buying Fit
Choose this page when sterilization durability is more important than the lower-cost PC cage path. Compare it with the polycarbonate mouse IVC system for cage visibility and cost control, or the high-density mouse IVC system when the facility needs up to 126 cage positions per rack.

Practical Tips
Choose PSU or PEI paths when repeated sterilization, durability, or chemical compatibility are key buying priorities.
Why: Cage material affects observation, cleaning workflow, sterilization planning, and long-term replacement cost.
Verify airflow and pressure behavior at representative rack positions after installation and filter changes.
Why: Facility connection, cage seating, and filter loading can affect actual performance even when the AHU is configured correctly.
Track cage position, rack level, and material type in colony and study records.
Why: Housing position and cage material can become hidden variables in long-running mouse studies if they are not recorded.

Compliance
Which mouse IVC page should I choose?
Choose this polysulfone page when repeated autoclaving and cage durability are the main decision. Choose the PC page for visibility/cost planning or the high-density page for up to 126 cage positions.
What filtration and airflow path is specified?
The current product data specifies individual air supply and exhaust per cage with primary plus HEPA filtration, coordinated through the air handling unit.
What facility requirements should be reviewed before ordering?
Review rack footprint, service clearance, 110V-250V power, facility air/exhaust planning, filter access, room ventilation, monitoring expectations, and husbandry workflow.
Can this be connected with the rest of the ConductScience IVC family?
Yes. Quote review can compare the general IVC Mouse Cage System, PC mouse IVC, PSU mouse IVC, high-density mouse IVC, and species-specific rat, rabbit, or guinea-pig systems.
