SpaceGels™ heating pads are formed by sealing a super-saturated liquid solution in a pouch similar to an IV bag. The pouch also contains a small metal activator disc. When the disc is flexed, the solution "freezes" and solidifies, giving off heat in the process. The heating pads reach a maximum temperature of about 130°F. Because the heating process is physical, not chemical, the pouches can be reused several hundred times. To reset a SpaceGel heating pad, simply heat through steaming or boiling until all crystals have dissolved. Once cooled, it can be reactivated and used again. SpaceGels have many uses. A SpaceGel can be placed between a cage containing a recovering animal and the table to provide heat during recovery. Small animals can be placed on the heating pads with some sort of barrier (towel, cloth, etc.) A SpaceGel can be wrapped and placed on a part of the animal to be warmed, or on the arteries if warming a large animal.

Braintree认识我们的HeroRatsAPOPO训练的每只老鼠的梦想就是成为HeroRAT！HeroRATS通过寻找爆炸物和筛查结核病为和平与发展做出了贡献。训练过程始于大鼠5周大并从其母亲那里断奶时开始。培训人员开始根据世界的景象，声音和纹理来对幼鼠进行社交。例如，他们经过发电机，在湿草上行走，在卡车上兜风，结识新朋友。这有助于大鼠学习其环境，而不必担心它们在野外，训练或手术中会遇到的事情。然后，老鼠学会开始将咔嗒声与食物奖励（通常是一些香蕉或花生）相关联。一旦他们得知“点击”意味着食物，就开始真正的训练。开始在一系列笼子中训练大鼠，并了解它们必须在阳性样本上标明才能获取食物，然后这就是练习，练习和练习。寻找地雷和检测疾病是一项复杂的工作，因此HeroRATS专门研究三个学科之一。首先是筛查从可疑区域带入的土壤样品，并评估哪些样品（和相应区域）高度可疑，哪些不是。这一纪律有助于确保负责排雷工作的团队能够集中精力于有地雷的地区和无法释放地雷的地区-开辟道路并提供期待已久的援助。第二种也是最受欢迎的方法是在现场寻找隐藏的地雷。HeroRATS目前在训练中追求的第三门学科是评估结核病的痰液样本。
