The Maxi-Miser Change Station is a unique unit capable of protecting the cage occupant from contaminated room air. It also protects staff members from air born impurities contained in the cages. The unit creates an air "barrier" at the work space opening, while allowing low velocity class 100 air to wash the entire work area.
