As the number and complexity of genetically engineered colonies increases, many researchers are finding it difficult to secure the necessary biosecure animal space and personnel expertise needed to successfully manage these challenging projects. At Charles River, our vast global isolator housing space is available to help you alleviate internal space constraints. Isolators are available in multiple sizes and configurations in order to best match the space to your research goals, helping you keep costs down.
Standard Isolator Sizes
| Size |
Mouse Capacity |
Rat Capacity |
| 3ft |
18 cages |
9 cages |
| 6ft |
30 cages |
12 cages |
| 8ft |
64 cages |
27 cages |
In addition to our standard sizes, isolators can be linked to form custom size environments for larger colonies while retaining all the biosecurity benefits isolators provide.
While your colonies are in our care, you are assigned a dedicated project manager to work with you to help ensure your goals are being met. Our worldwide project management team has worked on thousands of lines for hundreds of clients and each member is trained to adapt to each project's unique needs. The group has experience with all types of genetically engineered rodents, including knockout, transgenic, knockin, inducible and conditional, as well as models with multiple genetic manipulations. Our project managers, combined with our extensive veterinary, genetic, and embryological staff, form an invaluable team to help you manage your project and accelerate your research.
