Animal Quarantine Services

Our state-of-the-art, isolator-based quarantine facilities allow for the direct acceptance of animals from any institution worldwide, regardless of their known or unknown health status. This flexibility provides options to screen animals that would otherwise not be allowed into many animal facilities and speeds up the process of acquiring valuable research animals. At the completion of the quarantine period, animals that are proven negative of excluded agents are allowed directly into most barrier facilities without the need to rederive.
