SomnoSuite Low-Flow Anesthesia System
Kent Scientific's flagship low-flow anesthesia delivery system for mice and rats. A precision syringe pump plus integrated digital vaporizer auto-scales anesthetic flow to animal weight — typical use is less than 1 mL isoflurane per hour. Up to 2 animals simultaneously, pre-calibrated for isoflurane and sevoflurane, runs on room air or compressed gas, and ships with the RightTemp® temperature monitor.
What is the SomnoSuite Low-Flow Anesthesia System?
The SomnoSuite® from Kent Scientific is an innovative low-flow anesthesia delivery system designed specifically for mice and rats. Unlike traditional vaporizer-and-stand systems, the SomnoSuite uses a precision syringe pump and an integrated digital vaporizer that delivers anesthetic at flow rates proportional to the animal’s weight. The result: animals are anesthetized using less than 1 mL of isoflurane per hour in typical use — a fraction of the consumption of conventional vaporizers — with proportionally less waste anesthetic gas exposure for personnel.
Every SomnoSuite ships pre-calibrated for isoflurane and sevoflurane, supports up to two animals simultaneously, runs on room air or compressed gas, and includes the RightTemp® temperature monitor for integrated thermoregulation.
Key Features
- Low-flow design (25 mL–1 L): Auto-calculates flow rate from animal weight — less than 1 mL isoflurane/hour in typical use.
- Integrated digital vaporizer: Pre-calibrated for isoflurane and sevoflurane; digital dial control for precise delivery.
- Up to 2 animals simultaneously: Anesthetize a pair of mice or rats from a single SomnoSuite.
- No annual calibration required: Active vaporization technology eliminates the annual vaporizer service that traditional units require; includes a no-calibration certificate for facility inspections.
- Room air or compressed gas: Operates without a pressurized O₂ cylinder when paired with a small concentrator or compressor.
- Compact, modular footprint: Stacks with RoVent and MouseSTAT modules for an integrated anesthesia + ventilation + monitoring tower.
- RightTemp® included: Every SomnoSuite ships with temperature monitoring out of the box.
- Multi-parameter touch screen: Vital signs and anesthesia delivery on a single display.

Why low-flow anesthesia matters
Traditional small-animal vaporizers operate at flow rates of 0.5–2 L/min regardless of whether the patient weighs 20 g or 200 g. That over-flow is wasted anesthetic and a continuous source of waste gas exposure for the technician. The SomnoSuite’s precision syringe-pump design scales delivery to the animal: a 25 g mouse receives a fraction of the flow used for a 300 g rat. Across a typical study, isoflurane consumption can drop by an order of magnitude, with proportionally less ambient exposure and a smaller scavenging burden.
The architecture also removes the annual maintenance footprint of traditional vaporizers — active vaporization technology means no annual calibration is required, and the system ships with a no-calibration certificate suitable for facility inspections.
Typical Use Cases
- Mouse and rat surgery in small or mobile vivariums.
- Imaging and electrophysiology requiring stable, long-duration anesthesia at low flow.
- Facilities under strict occupational waste-gas limits.
- Behavior and pharmacology pipelines requiring brief, repeatable inhalation anesthesia.
- Integrated workstations stacking RoVent ventilation and MouseSTAT physiological monitoring.
