Research Systems
The Stand-Alone is one of our proven, time-tested zebrafish housing systems. Save time setting up and keeping track of your experiments compared with conventional fish-keeping systems. In fact, you can fit up to 120 tanks in the same footprint as three conventional 10-gallon glass aquaria!
Features
Superior Design- Oversized, 5-stage, state-of-the-art filtration ensures optimal
water quality.
- Low water level safety shut-off and alarm with programmable logic
controller (PLC) control panel.
- Pressure relief valve helps maintain consistent water flow to
culture tanks.
- Heavy-duty, 316L stainless steel frame with leveling feet.
Convenience
- Filter and UV bypass allow you to service units while still running system.
- Automatic water exchange saves time and reduces labor.
Flexibility
- Four- to six-shelf systems.
- Ergonomic, autoclavable polycarbonate tanks (1.5-, 3.0- and 10.0-liter sizes), lids and baffles.
