MMACs are available in different sizes. Please note that the diameter given in the table below is for an overview and indicates the space maximum required by the animal chamber. The available space for the animal inside the cassette is just below.
With optional devices, MMACs support application of anesthesia gas, warm air temperature supply, and supervision of vital parameters (ECG and respiratory) based on the sensors supplied by Small Animals Instruments, Inc. (www.i4sa.com).
