• Each 2.2 lb vac pac provides enough bedding for 8-9 cages, packaged 8 per case (15 cases per pallet)
• Natural ammonia control and dust-free performance
• Ideal for germ-free mouse colonies, biosafety-critical research, and facilities prioritizing maximum bio-security

Cellu-nest™ soft cellulose bedding offers a clean, comfortable substrate for laboratory rodent housing with a focus on animal welfare and research quality.

Features

• Made from very soft cellulose fibers that provide a gentle, comfortable bedding environment
• Nesting materials encourage species-specific behaviors and supports enrichment
• Will not mat or clump when wet
• Not manufactured from harvested materials
• Approximately 70 liters of bedding volume per 10 lb bag, providing efficient cage coverage

ALPHA Pad® pre-cut cotton fiber enrichment bedding sheets appeal to rodents' natural nest-building behavior, absorbing nearly 20 times their own weight while offering compact storage and easy cage turnover.

Features

• Made from 100% bleached cotton staple fibers with long strands that encourage natural shredding and nest construction
• Absorbs nearly 20 times its own weight, keeping animals clean and dry for extended periods
• Pre-cut to fit standard shoe-box cages: mouse size (6" x 10", 400/box) and rat size (7" x 16", 250/box), with custom sizes available
• Extremely low dust even after shredding, and soiled bedding dumps out easily for fast cage changes
• Autoclavable for sterilization; compact packaging means one carton replaces four bags of traditional bedding

Poly Pad is a versatile multi-ply cellulose wadding liner backed with a sturdy polyethylene layer for zero leakage. Poly Pad is ideal for use as a cage liner, necropsy liner, post-surgical pad, or bench liner.

Features

• Superior absorbency with capillary action that distributes moisture evenly without puddling or runoff
• Poly Pads can soak up heavy discharge from large animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs
• Polyethylene backing prevents liquid penetration
• Made from 100% virgin fibers so they don’t create dust
• White tissue makes animal discharges and lab spills easily visible
• Custom cut to fit your needs
• Available in 4 to 18 plies

Techboard is a highly absorbent, untreated technical-grade cage board with a dimpled top layer that reduces liquid runoff.

Features

• Highly absorbent with a waffled top layer that reduces liquid runoff  and movement of fecal material
• Dust-free and will not contribute to airborne particles
• Semi-rigid sheets make handling easy
• Can be changed every 3 to 4 days instead of daily
• Custom cut to fit your needs
• Available in three grades: Techboard, Techboard K52, and Techboard II

Shepsorb is an embossed, single-ply, non-laminated cage liner sheet. Shepsorb is commonly used for birds and animals with lower urinary output. (It is not recommended for animals with high urinary output or that play with water valves or sipper tubes.)

Features

• Waffled surface reduces liquid runoff and movement of fecal material
• Dust-free and will not contribute to airborne particles
• Semi-rigid sheets for easy handling and sanitation
• Economical alternative for short-term exposure applications
• Custom cut to fit your needs
• Available in 33# or 42# basis weight

Techsorb is a super-absorbent, non-contact cage board designed for all research programs, including GLP and toxicology studies. It soaks up liquid like a sponge and offers many advantages.

Features

• Super absorbent with capillary action that distributes moisture evenly instead of puddling or running off
• Ideal for use under larger animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, dogs and non-human primates
• Untreated, chemical-free material suitable for GLP and toxicology programs
• White textured surface makes bodily fluids easily visible
• Semi-rigid sheets for easy handling and sanitation
• Lasts approximately twice as long as competing cage liners
• Custom cut to fit your needs
