[An autoclavable stainless steel isolator for small scale gnotobiotic experiments (author's transl)]. 1978

K Itoh, and A Ozaki, and T Yamamoto, and T Mitsuoka

A lightweight stainless steel autoclavable pentagon isolator was designed for experiments using gnotobiotic mice. The chamber, 400 x 450 x 350 mm, has an entry port 200 mm in diameter at the back and a window at the ceiling. The globes and two filters were equipped at the front and each side, respectively. An inner stainless steel cap of the entry lock was sealed by a seamless silicone band. It was possible to ventilate this isolator by either free-flow or blower operation. After autoclaving the isolators 10 to 16 times for a year, none of them was repaired. Five mice can be kept in this isolator for about 1 month without supply of diet, water and wood shaving after the first setting.
