Isoflurane USP for research labs
Isoflurane USP is supplied by Kent in 250 mL amber-glass bottles, free of stabilizers or other additives. Long-term stability studies show no detectable change in composition after five years of indirect light exposure or prolonged ultraviolet challenge, and virtually no alkali uptake after six months in strong base—confirming the agent’s bench-top resilience.
Isoflurane is a seamless fit with Kent Delivery Systems
Isoflurane feeds directly into SomnoFlo®, Kent’s low-flow electronic vaporizer that delivers carrier-gas rates as low as 50 mL min⁻¹—ideal for mice and other small rodents where conserving anesthetic and maintaining normothermia are critical.
For larger laboratory species or clinical cases, the VetFlo™ vaporizer provides traditional flow-meter control with the same agent bottle, giving practitioners a familiar interface while preserving the tight output accuracy required for regulated studies.
Isoflurane species coverage:
Isoflurane produces rapid induction, stable surgical planes and smooth recoveries across:
- Rodents (mice, rats, gerbils) – low-flow delivery minimises gas wastage and limits occupational exposure
- Small exotics (rabbits, guinea-pigs, ferrets)
- Translational models (mini-pigs)
