The Sipper Sack - An Ergonomically Smart System for Individual Cage Watering

The Sipper Sack® Animal Watering System is an innovative way to water your laboratory animals. 

The Sipper Sack concept is simple - use a sterilized, disposable, plastic sack with a reusable, autoclavable, stainless steel drinking valve for individual cage watering.  While a technician transfers animals during the cage change process, the system performs in-room, on-demand sack filling in the change hood's controlled environment. The sack goes into the cage in the same place as a water bottle.

Benefits of Sipper Sack®

  • Filled at the point of use during cage change procedure
  • Eliminates the ergonomic dangers,corridor clutter, and labor cost associated with pre-filling, carting, washing, and storing water bottles 
  • Excellent for dosing - water-soluble drugs are easily injected into the sack prior to inserting the drinking valve
  • Adapts to many different cage styles
  • Compact filler and sacks save on space
  • Drip-free drinking valve ensures cages stay dry
  • Provides superior water quality and extended life compared to bottles - Patented valve design does not allow back bubbling of contaminants into the sack
  • Ideal for use in critical environments - no water bottles to autoclave

Sipper Sack® System Components
  • Reusable, autoclavable, stainless steel Sipper Sack drinking valve
  • 450-milliliter sterile and FDA approved recyclable material, Sipper Sack with a reinforced fill port (available in clear or black)

Sipper Sack® Carboy System


Water is supplied to the Sipper Sack Filler through room distribution system piping or a carboy. The Carboy System delivers a specified quantity of house, autoclaved, treated, medicated or reverse osmosis water to the Sipper Sack Filler to fill sacks. This system uses a peristaltic pump and pressure switch to pump water from a carboy to the Sipper Sack Filler. Sacks are filled on demand as the pressure switch controls the pump operation, turning it on and off as needed.
