| Because testing is performed within the animal's cage, AfaSci's SmartCages™ eliminate the many problems associated with external testing systems, thereby increasing throughput and lowering costs: |
| |
 No need to remove animals from their holding room, causing animal stress due to change in an environment |
| No need to conduct tests in dedicated measuring device, causing scheduling bottlenecks and consuming space |
The animals perform tests in their sleep phase, leading to optimal accuracy
|
| No throughput limitations due to lack of automation |
