Dynalon's Dura-Cross tank is ideal for breeding of Zebrafish. Manufactured from transparent and autoclavable food grade polycarbonate, it is fully impact resistant and will not chip or break. The tank consists of a tapered tank body, a slotted insert, and lid, and it is stackable to save space.


Dura-Cross easily and effectively optimizes the breeding of zebra fish and is available as single pieces or in cases of 25.
Features include:

  • Manufactured from food grade polycarbonate, making it virtually indestructible and with glass-like clarity for maximum viewing of fish and eggs
  • Unique slotted insert ensures eggs are separate from adults, maximizing yield; insert can be removed to allow adult fish to be quickly and safely returned to main habitat tank
  • Molded lid keeps tank and fish environment clean and is designed for easy stacking; has two ¼" holes for air tubing
  • Optional Dividers available in diagonal or straight formats to keep males and females separate as required
  • Optional Carrying Tray allows for safe transport of tanks and holds 5 tanks in a single layer or 10 tanks stacked
  • Tanks and accessories are dishwasher safe and autoclavable
  • Tank dimensions: 8" X 4" X 3"

Quietek™ Euthanasia System

 

The Quietek™ is a carbon dioxide delivery system that has been specifically designed for use with laboratory mice and rats. It’s simple interface allows the user to focus on the task at hand rather than monitoring a flow meter and controlling carbon dioxide flow manually. Once the Quietek has been installed and set, a keylock feature prevents the settings from being modified. This ensures that euthanasia is performed humanely, ethically, consistently, and in keeping with your organization’s policies (which should include consulting the AVMA Guidelines for US institutions).

  • If your research requires alternate or specific flow rates, we can likely customize the instrument to meet your needs.
  • No animals were harmed or euthanized for the main purpose of developing or testing this product. 
  • The AVMA has not certified this product.
  • Made in the U.S.A.

Product Advantages

Compliant
The Quietek is programmed to operate only within flow rates allowed by the AVMA for a given cage or chamber volume. The cage or chamber volumes can be programmed by designated staff and then locked to prevent changes. This ensures that CO2 is delivered ethically, consistently, and according to your organization’s policies every time.

The AVMA recommendations were improved upon in 2020. The most notable change regarding CO2 euthanasia of laboratory rodents is that the recommended flow rate has been increased from 10 – 30% chamber volume / minute to 30 – 70% chamber volume / minute. The Quietek has been modified to meet these newer recommendations. Additionally, previous versions of the Quietek (designed for 2013 recommendations) can be modified to accurately meet the new chamber volume and flow rate guidelines.

Easy
Once the Quietek has been installed and set up, a simple push of the “Start” button begins the flow of CO2. If the need arises, the run can be aborted by pressing the button a second time. Otherwise, the carbon dioxide flow will shut off automatically when a sufficient volume has been delivered to the cage / chamber. A countdown timer indicates how long it will be until the flow will be shut off.

 

Economical
While CO2 is generally inexpensive, when the time and labor associated with ordering and changing tanks is added in, it can be. Since the Quietek is optimized to automatically shut off the flow after a sufficient amount of CO2 has been delivered, annual use can be significantly reduced. Feedback from our customers has praised the automatic shut-off indicating significant reduction in cost and interruptions to the workflow due to valves left open by staff performing the task manually.
 
 

Humane
The euthanasia process should be monitored continuously to ensure a humane endpoint. Since the flow of carbon dioxide is automatic, this allows the user to focus on the animals rather than a timer.

 

Quietek Calibration

Calibration service will ensure that your Quietek instrument is working the way it should. The calibration service includes evaluation of the device, repair of any systems required to bring the instrument up to full working order, and calibration of the flow rate to ensure it meets the AVMA recommendations.
