The Tecniplast Interceptor is an advanced, non-invasive environmental monitoring solution that revolutionizes health surveillance in rodent facilities. Installed directly in the IVC rack's air handling unit, the Interceptor continuously collects airborne particles from exhaust air, allowing for rapid and highly sensitive pathogen detection using PCR—without the need for sentinel animals. This patented system improves detection speed, supports the 3Rs by eliminating live sentinels, and significantly reduces labor and testing costs. Easy to install and validated across leading research institutions, the Interceptor offers a more ethical, efficient, and reliable approach to colony health monitoring.
