By leveraging our expertise and innovative technologies, we aim to support local industries and contribute to a safer, healthier environment.

Allentown is a leading global provider of Life Science solutions. In over 50 years of operation, we are proud to have played our part in heroic research that continues to save lives around the world every day. We earn the highest trust of the biomedical research community by providing critical services with integrity and care.

NexGen IVC Reusable Animal Cages

Introducing the NexGen IVC system. Our goal in bringing the NexGen to market was to ensure it is the lightest, most cost-effective, easiest-to-use animal-friendly IVC system in the LAS industry.

77.5 in² / 500 cm² for mouse housing
Smooth sliding, easy gliding cage docking / undocking
Low vibration spares animals and staff from discomfort
Observation made easier and faster

EASY CAGE REMOVAL

Smooth and easy sliding in, and the same sliding out...less stress and vibration for your animals and less repetitive motion strain on your staff...those are the benefits of NexGen's innovative plastic runner system. So innovative that the NexGen is changing the way animal care staff perform their wellness checks...no need to fully remove cages from the rack.

QUITE OPERATION

There's so little you'll hear when using a NexGen that it's easier to describe what you won't: no loud hum, no swirling fan, no air noise as it gets sucked into the blower intake... just quiet. Energy efficient ECM motors along with design expertise applied by Allentown airflow experts ensures you'll barely even notice that the blowers are on.

ERGONOMICS

Lighter, easier to use, easier to move and manipulate, validated by an independent ergonomist. NexGen provides reliable protection for your staff and your animals. Reengineered to be stronger yet lighter, the NexGen uses less stainless steel and a combination of high-quality plastic materials to make the rack easier to work with.

Chem-CD

Sealed Negative Pressure IVC

Designed in conjunction with customers who were looking for an alternative to glove-box isolators, Allentown brought the first BCU to market in 1997, and for more than 20 years it has continued to be the gold standard in biocontainment housing.

Species: Mouse, Hamster (with PFT feeder)*
* 6 in of internal height for use with hamsters - per The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals
Rat cage sizes available
Sealed negative pressure IVC system
Patented 4-point seal technology
Certified HEPA filtration
Ergonomic cage handling, low stress on animals and staff

CERTIFIED HEPA FILTRATION

Allentown takes the certified HEPA filter from a respected provider, installs it into the SPP rack HEPA assembly and then recertifies the entire system in place. The Rack HEPA assembly is hard connected to the racking system, ensuring that all connections to the rack on the “contaminated” side of the filter are securely fastened.

PARENTED 4-POINT SEAL

Chem-CD is the solution to your problems. We have a revolutionary new process, developed by the US military, which works quickly and effectively. It is reasonably priced, easily stored, very powerful, and, most importantly, brings you the benefits of chlorine dioxide for your biological safety cabinet (BSC). Our blend is specially formulated to meet NSF/ANSI 49 Annex G 2009 and AS 2243.3/AS 2252 requirements for generating chlorine dioxide gas.

Generates 0.13 g/ft3 of chlorine dioxide gas to meet NSF/ANSI 49 requirements.

Biological Safety Cabinet Scrubber

Manufactured in sturdy polycarbonate, the Enrichment Loft provides the highest level of enrichment, privacy and safety for your rodent populations. Allentown offers both mouse and rat enrichment, compatible with the NexGen Mouse, NexGen MAX, NexGen Rat 900, NexGen Rat 1800 and 75 JAG cage systems.

Environmental enrichment enhances animal well-being.

The primary aim of environmental enrichment is to enhance animal well-being by providing animals with sensory and motor stimulation, through structures and resources that facilitate the expression of species-typical behaviors and promote psychological well-being through physical exercise, manipulative activities, and cognitive challenges according to species-specific characteristics.

CD-Check Strips

Animal Transfer Station

The Phantom2 expands upon everything that made the original Phantom great, with improved industry-leading ISO Class 3 airflow, the new Active Barrier Containment™ system, technologic and ergonomic enhancements to improve ease of use, lighter weight, and a variety of optional features for added convenience.

ISO Class 3 Verified by Independent 3rd Party ISO 14644 Accredited Clean Room Certifier
Increased protection with Active Barrier Containment
Ease of use with best in class ergonomic design
More usable space with increased worksurface area

ISO CLASS 3 AIRFLOW

While the original Phantom provided ISO Class 4 airflow — 10 times the level of air cleanliness than most units at that time — the Phantom2 employs double HEPA filtration to provide ISO Class 3 airflow which has been verified by an independent 3rd Party ISO 14644 Accredited Clean Room Certifier.

ACTIVE BARRIER CONTAINMENT

Protection of your research, your animals and your personnel is the main goal of an animal transfer station. The Phantom2 uses an outside-of-sash air curtain barrier for increased work surface protection.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

The Phantom2 has more room to work, a new color touchscreen from which users can program variable heights for the unit, dim or adjust lights (including the use of a new RED light mode), and set ECO-modes for environmentally-friendly operation.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

Motion Sensor
Food Hopper

Colony Health Monitoring

Allentown and Charles River Laboratories have partnered together to develop the Exhaust Air Dust collection methodology - or EAD®. This system does not require soiled-bedding sentinel animals, but instead captures and samples aggregate exhaust air from IVCs using a patented collection media that attracts dust particles but doesn't load like a filter, or impact airflow.

FEWER SENTINEL ANIMALS

Estimated at up to 1,000,000 animals annually, the rodents required for traditional SBS programs can now be significantly reduced. In fact, a recent study undertaken by the University of Chicago saw a decrease in their use of SBS by approximately 1700 animals each year. These types of reductions can bring facilities that use the Sentinel system closer in line with the 3Rs.

MORE ACCURATE RESULTS

Tested extensively by Charles River and Allentown, the Sentinel EAD protocol not only increases detection percentages of the most commonly tested agents, but also expands the number and variety of agents that can be tested and detected.

REDUCED LABOR AND COST

In a recent study performed by the University of Chicago comparing Soiled Bedding Sentinels (SBS) and EAD, the annual cost of their Sentinel program was found to be 26% less expensive than the SBS program, equating to over $160,800 in savings per year for that institution.
