strain importation 

 

We know that it is often necessary for you to import new rodent strains with questionable or unknown health status. Charles River can provide the tools you need to help protect the integrity of your animal facility. Let us help you manage the risk and ensure that only animals that meet your health standards arrive at your door.

Because of our highly refined isolator technology, we can import animals into our GEMS facilities that have an unknown or potentially undesirable health status. Once the animals arrive, we can offer several options to assess or correct the problem.Our Quarantine Services can deliver the ability to accurately determine the health status of your colony in a risk-free environment. For colonies that are known to be infected, we offer rederivation options to remove pathogens. Alternatively, we can cryopreserve embryos and ship them to you for implantation. Regardless of which path you choose, you can have confidence that Charles River will assist you with acquiring the animals you need with the health status you require.
