MMC100新陳代謝籠用于小鼠的實驗，是一個獨立的單元，設計用于單個小鼠的長達24小時的實驗。該代謝籠具有獨特的功能，可以最大程度的減少尿液收集的污染。

MMC100新陳代謝籠由不銹鋼和丙烯酸制成，有以下的8個組件：
1  頂部圓筒
2  底部圓筒 
3  底板
4  收集漏斗
5  蓋子
6  喂食器

收集步驟:
新陳代謝籠的高效收集的關鍵在于收集漏斗。它收集小鼠的尿液小滴，使之慢慢的聚集到中間的球狀物上，直到足夠多后就會滴落到下面的收集容器中。任何的雜質，即使沒有被底板排除在外，也會被漏斗排除在外，使雜質不會進入到收集容器中,得到完整、清潔的樣品。

肥胖設計:
肥胖的設計和標準的代謝籠有一個區別：在頂部的圓筒上的臂是45?角的，以便于安裝超重小鼠的喂食和喂水器。肥胖的設計包括先前提到的標準設計相同的功能。此外，雖然最初是為肥胖小鼠設計的，但是這個籠子也可以適用于標準的小鼠。

冷卻系統設計:
冷卻系統分為兩部分，包括絕緣籠基座和連接到冷卻系統的基座插頭。 這個籠子提供了一個方便的方法去保持整個收集過程中的樣品溫度在或低于45?F（7?C）。
