The 2026 Stellar Start catalogue lists the NS6090 as a large-format option in the NS family. This article records the current catalogue dimensions and the questions buyers should confirm before treating it as compatible with an existing rack, heating system or animal-housing plan.
Current Catalogue Specifications
The listed configuration is:
Updated NS6090 specifications: - Rack frame: 97 × 61.9 × 18.9cm (38.2 × 24.4 × 7.4") - Tub external dimensions: 90 × 60 × 16cm (35.4 × 23.6 × 6.3") - Tub internal dimensions: 85 × 55 × 16cm (33.5 × 21.7 × 6.3") - Frame material: PET tub + powder-coated aluminum alloy frame - Color options: Transparent / White / Black tubs
Dimensions may vary slightly by measurement method or production tolerance. The quotation or approved specification should identify the exact configuration being supplied.
How to Evaluate the NS6090
Use the internal dimensions as a starting point for facility planning, not as an automatic species recommendation. The finished setup must provide the individual animal with suitable usable space, normal movement and posture, furnishings, ventilation, a controlled thermal gradient, enrichment and monitoring under applicable welfare requirements.
For retail or distribution planning, also compare assembled footprint, packed dimensions, gross weight, assembly responsibility, doorway access and replacement-part requirements.
Confirm Compatibility Before Reconfiguration
A similar frame footprint does not by itself prove that tubs, rails, heating components, casters or lighting layers are interchangeable. Before modifying an existing NS installation, provide the current model, purchase period, measurements and component photos so the proposed combination can be reviewed.
The quotation should state the compatible frame, tub, hardware and heating configuration. Do not install a component solely because its external dimensions appear to fit.
Heating and Electrical Review
If heating is included, confirm plate dimensions, rated wattage, voltage, frequency, plug, thermostat compatibility, probe location, installation clearances and destination-market requirements. Use thermostatic control and verify the complete setup with calibrated equipment.
Pricing, MOQ and Availability
Price, minimum quantity, stock status, production estimate, colors, packing and trade terms are confirmed per enquiry. OEM or packaging changes can affect quantity, cost and timing, so they must appear on the quotation or pro forma invoice before payment.
Verification Before Shipment
Buyers can request an agreed verification scope such as model and quantity photos, key measurements, finish and hardware checks, packing evidence, a live product review or an independent third-party inspection. Availability, cost and acceptance criteria are agreed before the order is placed.
Send your required internal dimensions, quantity, destination, existing NS components and heating requirements for a documented model comparison.
