Lab Products - See-Through Suspended Cage Systems for Laboratory Animals
The See-Through Suspended Cage Systems designed by Lab Products, LLC, address the challenges faced by modern research facilities in animal housing. These systems feature transparent polycarbonate cages that are suspended from mobile stainless-steel racks. This design maximizes visibility and space utilization while ensuring optimal conditions for the welfare of laboratory animals such as rats, mice, hamsters, and guinea pigs. The Systems come in multiple sizes to accommodate varying research needs, and are constructed from durable materials like polycarbonate and polysulfone, known for their exceptional strength and thermal resistance. The cages are machine washable and can withstand autoclaving temperatures of up to 250°F and 300°F respectively. Further enhancing their utility, these cage systems eliminate the need for separate lids, using perforated shelves as covers, thereby reducing costs and simplifying handling tasks. The innovative design promotes a research environment that is both versatile and adaptable to evolving requirements.Modern research facilities face increasing pressure to maximize visibility and space utilization while maintaining optimal conditions for animal welfare. Traditional housing systems often force compromises between observation access, space efficiency, and customization options.
Our See-Through Suspended Cage Systems eliminate these trade-offs. With clear polycarbonate cages suspended from mobile stainless-steel racks, these versatile systems deliver superior visibility, space optimization, and adaptability for housing rats, mice, hamsters, and guinea pigs.

Adaptable system grows with changing research requirements
Cage Materials and Design
Durable Polycarbonate: Clear, rigid, and warm to the touch, polycarbonate offers exceptional strength and high-temperature resistance (machine washable and autoclavable up to 250°F).
Durable Polysulfone:Amber or Gray tint, rigid, and warm to the touch, polysulfone offers exceptional strength and high-temperature resistance (machine washable and autoclavable up to 300°F).
Space-Saving Storage: Cages nest for easy handling and storage.
Innovative Cover Design
No separate lids are required! Each cage is suspended from the perforated shelf above, which doubles as the cage’s cover.
Cost-Effective: No additional cover expenses.
Effortless Handling: Eliminates cover-related tasks like handling and replacement.
