SomnoFlo – Next level anesthesia system
Whether managing long procedures or emergencies, SomnoFlo with O2Care Module simplifies gas delivery—no bulky or costly equipment required for mixing ambient air and compressed oxygen.
Automated delivery of anesthetic provides a low-flow alternative to traditional methods
SomnoFlo provides safety in low dosage
NO MORE USING HUMAN AMOUNTS OF ANESTHETIC FOR A MOUSE! The anesthetic dosage is according to animal weight, which can be as low as 0.1 LPM. Reducing gas wastage provides lab safety and consumable cost savings by up to 90%.
Automated delivery for precision
Ensures precision to 0.1% for reproducible results.
Simple to set up and use
Just connect your anesthetic bottle directly to SomnoFlo for immediate use.
Better animal outcomes
Low flow combined with far infrared warming pads keeps animals warm and safe during procedures for optimal outcomes.
Ambient air, compressed O2 or a mix – to suit your protocols
Option to use ambient room air (internal air pump) or compressed gas (oxygen) for convenience, cost savings and protocols.
Compact, efficient & cost effective.
Much smaller footprint than standard ISO cart for more usable space in the lab. Requires no regular calibration or recertification, reducing fuss, downtime and boosting lab efficiency.
Compact O₂ Care Module for Precise Gas Mixing
The SomnoFlo with O₂ Care Module (as shown) integrates gas mixing directly into the system, giving you control over O₂ and ambient room air concentrations.
This quick selection of oxygen concentrations—21% to 100%—via a touch-screen interface. This flexibility helps reduce risks, because some studies show 100% oxygen can cause side effects in anesthetized animals.
“I must admit, I am enjoying using the new SomnoFlo – it is so much easier not needing to use a syringe, and it is great that you can pre-set low and high flows which can be accessed by just one touch (rather than needing to re-set the values each time).
“I wish we had bought 2 units! At least we’ll know for next time.”

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
“a significantly smaller footprint than the standard isoflurane cart…Being able to use room air instead of oxygen is a huge bonus – no more monitoring how much oxygen we have left in the tank”
“We like it a lot. We just ordered a second one.”
“the system primes itself, empties itself and uses a bottle of isoflurane rather than the syringe – love this!”
