7099W White TEK-Fresh Cellulose Bedding
Rarely does a significantly superior product come along. That's
why we are so enthusiastic about TEK-Fresh a major breakthrough in
laboratory animal bedding. TEK-Fresh is manufactured from 100%
reclaimed virgin wood pulp, making it environmentally friendly. Our
pulp comes from plants that make paper towels and tissue paper,
which means TEK-Fresh is extremely absorbent. Unlike most other
paper bedding, it is not made from recycled news print or similar
waste materials, so it is not is not contaminated with inks or
chemicals, and no dyes or perfumes are added.
More Absorbent
TEK-Fresh absorbs up to three times its weight in liquids. The
natural wicking action and high absorbency capacity keeps animal
living areas drier and cleaner.
Odor Control
TEK-Fresh is scientifically engineered to control odor by
suppressing ammonia formation up to three times longer than
traditional bedding. The drier the bedding, the slower the ammonia
formation process occurs, making TEK-Fresh an excellent choice for
use in closed environments, such as isolators.
Ideal for Animals
TEK-Fresh is an ideal contact bedding for rodents. It is a loose
particulate that looks like thick gray "corn flakes" and is the
consistency of pulp egg cartons, but not as hard. Animals nest in
it more readily because it is soft, enhancing environmental
enrichment. It can also be used in drop pans for rabbits, guinea
pigs, and other species.
Non-Toxic
TEK-Fresh is nontoxic if eaten. It is sanitized at 380°F during
the manufacturing process to kill bacteria, molds and other types
of fungi. It is virtually dust-free and won't irritate either human
or animal respiratory systems. It contains no silica, resins, or
aromatic hydrocarbons.
Environmentally Friendly
TEK-Fresh lasts longer and doesn't pack down. Time is saved on
cleaning cages; it can even be vacuumed up. It is environmentally
friendly and biodegradable, and can be composted, incinerated,
flushed into the sewer system, or disposed of in a landfill.
Autoclavable
TEK-Fresh is autoclavable, and is packaged in a bag suitable for
autoclaving. It is also available in small, irradiated vacuum
pouches.
What it is, what it does, and how much better it does it is what
makes TEK-Fresh a significantly superior laboratory animal
bedding.
