At Charles River, we understand how important high-quality surgical models that meet exacting scientific and regulatory standards are to your research. As the premier provider of surgically altered research models, we have the specialized skills and resources that allow us to tailor research models to your specific needs. We offer an array of surgical services on five species – rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, and gerbil – at five different AAALAC-accredited production facilities in the United States and multiple international sites. Our team of highly skilled surgeons is ready to provide you with healthy animals, exactly when you need them. Whether you need a basic research model or an entire discovery program, you can trust Charles River to be an integral part of your drug development program.
In order to ensure that we produce the exact surgically altered model for your research, we work with several different partners, including catheter and telemetry device manufacturers.
