Laboratory Animal Water Bottles

Build a reliable cage-level watering routine

Laboratory animal water bottles give a facility direct control over drinking-water delivery at the cage level. They are useful when each cage needs its own removable water supply for routine exchange, sanitation, observation, or study-specific handling. A removable bottle also gives animal-care teams a clear point for checking water availability and replacing the supply according to the approved husbandry schedule.

Bottle volume affects how the watering routine fits animal demand and the planned change-out schedule. This family covers capacities from 200 to 700 mL, so teams can choose a smaller or larger supply around the housing configuration instead of treating every cage as the same use case. Selection should account for the animal, cage population, expected use, observation frequency, and the facility's response plan if a bottle is empty or disconnected.

Material selection matters at the facility level. PP, PC, and PSU options let a team match new bottles to its existing cage-room standard, cleaning workflow, and replacement inventory. The 13 listed bottle configurations preserve only the recorded material and volume combinations. Standardizing a compatible configuration can simplify stocking, bottle rotation, staff training, and replacement without implying that every material uses the same sanitation process.

The watering interface is part of the same decision. Five listed stopper configurations are available: straight rubber, straight silicone, bent-tube rubber, bent-tube silicone, and stainless steel. These are compatibility components rather than separate research products, so they are reviewed with the bottle family. The correct choice depends on the bottle neck, tube arrangement, cage connection, and the way staff remove, inspect, clean, and reinstall the complete assembly.

Before ordering, map the full cage-room cycle from clean storage through filling, distribution, in-cage use, collection, inspection, sanitation, and return to service. Confirm that the selected capacity does not interfere with cage access or observation and that staff can identify damaged or incorrectly seated components during rounds. ConductScience will confirm bottle and stopper compatibility, pack quantity, what is included, and any remaining connection details during quote review so the order supports a workable husbandry setup.
