ARES Change Animal Transfer Station

The ARES Change is a premium dual-access animal transfer station engineered for life sciences research facilities. Designed to support minor procedures and cage changes, this advanced unit combines animal welfare, technician protection, and operational efficiency in one ergonomic system.

Built with proprietary Active Airflow Technology, the ARES Change delivers a powerful laminar downflow through H14 HEPA filtration, creating a sterile ISO Class 3 work area that minimizes allergen exposure and cross-contamination. Dual access allows technicians to transfer animals between cages without needing to move the entire enclosure—streamlining workflows in vivariums.

To enhance user comfort, the ARES Change features electrically adjustable legs for height customization, a large open work area compatible with most rodent cages, and an intuitive touchscreen interface. Red light mode enables cage changes in low-light conditions to avoid disrupting animals’ circadian rhythms.
