Applications of the metabolic cage for pharmacology lab work
Metabolic cages are used when the excretion of an individual animal has to be measured, because the cage keeps urine and faeces apart so that each can be collected over a set period and analysed for a drug, its metabolites or other markers.
- Collecting urine and faeces separately from one animal for drug metabolism and excretion studies
- Measuring urine output in diuretic activity experiments
- Housing test animals during toxicology and pharmacokinetic work
- Holding several cages on the vertical or horizontal support rack
- Pharmacology practicals and projects in pharmacy colleges with an animal house
