Urine and Faeces Sample Collection
The Monash Metabolic Phenotyping Platform houses two E-Chiller Metabolic Cage Systems, used for the collection of urine and faeces with samples stored at a pre-set temperature between 4'C-20'C. Allowing for extended animal housing and larger sample collection.
- Both racks are fitted with 10 cages which can be used statically or with the E-Chiller.
- Cages are fitted with spill and drip collection for the food and water hoppers minimising contamination of samples.
- Low temperature collection/storage of samples to slow down biochemical reactions due to enzyme actions.
Your faeces samples can be processed onsite to determine calorific value using our bomb calorimeter here at MMPP.
