Ready to set up your vapor study?
Tell us about your experiment and we will help you configure the right vaporizer, controller, and response devices for your lab.
Scientific Vapor designs and manufactures inhalation chamber systems for long-term and intermittent delivery of drugs by vapor. Target and maintain consistent drug levels in animals, with passive and self-administration control.
Vaporizer, controller, and configuration software work together to give you complete control of vapor delivery for your experiment.
A 250-watt vaporizer with wattage control, temperature protection, coil preheat, and custom profiles. Enough vapor per puff to fill a standard cage.

Discuss your project →Watch the SVS250 deliver a dense, controlled cloud of vapor into the chamber. Each puff carries enough drug to fill a standard cage, on the timing intervals you set.
Deliver nicotine, THC, psychostimulants, opioids, and other drugs by vapor. Switch drugs by simply switching the tank on top of each vaporizer.
Scientific Vapor designs and manufactures inhalation chamber systems for both long-term and intermittent delivery of drugs by vapor. We produce both passive and self-administration vapor systems that enable investigators to target and maintain consistent drug levels in animals.
Our controllers let the user choose between modes for individual experiments. The first is a passive (timed) setting, where vapor is delivered at set intervals to maintain consistent drug levels in an animal. The second is self-administration, which incorporates response devices such as a nose poke, lever press, or turning wheel, with a configurable number of responses required before vapor is delivered.
The inhalation system provides a minimally stressful environment that lets mice and rats eat, drink, and sleep normally while vapor is delivered, which more closely mimics human drug use. There is no measurable stress response by animals during exposure in the passive system.
The rapid growth of electronic cigarette use, especially among young adults, left researchers scrambling to establish protocols that emulate human use. That gap in technology led to a lack of empirical data needed for safety and regulatory work. Scientific Vapor's systems were built to fill it.
We build and repair everything in house, so help comes from the people who made your equipment.
