What are Lab Animal Refuse Workstations, and how do they improve safety in animal research facilities?

Lab Animal Refuse Workstations are specialized cage-dumping stations designed to provide personnel protection while disposing of animal bedding, cage waste, and other refuse in vivariums and laboratory animal research facilities. NuAire's AllerGard® NU-608 uses an active inflow air barrier and HEPA-filtered exhaust to capture airborne hair, dander, bedding particles, and allergens before they can enter the surrounding laboratory environment. The workstation also includes charcoal filtration to help control unpleasant odors during waste-disposal procedures. Its large access opening accommodates mouse and rat cages, while the spacious work area supports safe and efficient cage-emptying workflows. By reducing technicians' exposure to airborne contaminants, Lab Animal Refuse Workstations help improve workplace safety, allergen control, cleanliness, and operational efficiency in biomedical, pharmaceutical, university, and animal research facilities.
