The UNO cage and filtertop system has been developed for two purposes:
to protect animals during transport;
to create a micro isolator.
By placing a filtertop on the animal cages during any kind of transport, the animals can be protected against contamina- tion from the outside environment. The cage and filtertop unit can be regarded as a micro isolator in which animals can be held permanently. It is a simple alternative to the complex barrier room system creating the barrier at cage level.
