Disease-Free Environment: IVCs provide a controlled environment that minimizes the risk of contamination and infection, ensuring that animals are kept in disease-free conditions.
Research and Drug Testing: Animals housed in IVCs are used in scientific research, including drug development and testing, to ensure accurate and valid results.
Barrier Units: IVCs are part of barrier systems that protect animals from external pathogens and allergens, maintaining a clean and safe environment.
Animal Welfare: IVCs are designed to provide comfort and minimize stress for the animals, with features like air valves placed at the top to reduce drafts and ensure proper ventilation.
