MuriPhys Lab Life Hacks

Give that sticker a second job.

A full bottle is only part of the picture. Our recurring Lab Life Hacks series looks at practical details, starting with Innovive IVC pre-filled water bottles.

A full bottle is only part of the picture.

With Innovive IVC pre-filled water bottles, a forgotten seal or a bottle that is not seated correctly can block water access. Our Lab Life Hacks series starts with a simple visual reminder from everyday animal care.

MuriPhys Lab Life Hacks: remove the seal from the drinking opening, move the sticker to the upward-facing base, then seat the bottle and check alignment and water access
From the MuriPhys Lab Life Hacks series.

A visible cue during routine health checks.

Peel the seal from the drinking opening and move the sticker to the bottle’s upward-facing base. When placing the bottle, press over the sticker to seat it, check that the openings line up, and confirm that water is available.

The sticker becomes easy to spot during routine health checks. It shows that the seal is off and reminds the team to check the bottle’s placement, alongside the facility’s established animal-care procedures.

At MuriPhys, good science starts with attentive animal care. Follow our Lab Life Hacks series for practical ideas from the lab and vivarium.
