The world’s #1 choice for hydrating research animals

The industry standard for in-transit hydration

HydroGel® is a barrier packed, water gel that keeps research animals completely hydrated, clean, and dry during shipping. With a 24-month shelf life, HydroGel® requires no refrigeration or special handling. That is why leading breeders and research animal suppliers have shipped over 100 million animals using HydroGel®.

Pre-filled, pure water in a ready-to-use pouch

AquaPak® is purified water for laboratory rodents packaged in a ready-to-use pouch. It serves as an excellent emergency water source, a convenient extended water supply, and a useful alternative to water bottles. Made even better by the robust chew-resistant AquaValve®.

Electrolytes deliver enhanced support

Like Gatorade for rodents, DietGel® Recovery is formulated with electrolytes to replenish & rehydrate. This nutritionally fortified water gel aids in the recovery of post surgical, weak or impaired rodents. Proven to increase survival rates in compromised animals, it contains 70% water and purified ingredients. 

Naturally flavored and packed with benefits

Especially formulated for non-human primates with an appealing flavor profile and containing 92% water, ClearH₂O’s LabGel® Banana promotes enhanced consumption to ensure supplemental hydration. LabGel® Banana‘s firm consistency and high palatability make it ideal for use with enrichment devices.
