Preconditioning Services
Due to space, time, and labor limitations, it is often beneficial for researchers to outsource animal studies in order to help manage their resource allocation. With state-of-the-art animal facilities, professional animal care, and the most extensive line of animal models to use for your studies, Charles River now brings you the best in Preconditioning Services.
Simply put, preconditioned models are animals that are held and fed a special diet and/or supplement or allowed to grow to a certain age before being shipped to the customer. During the preconditioning period, various phenotypic parameters can be measured and recorded on an “as needed” basis. In addition, surgical manipulations can be performed on the animals as part of the preconditioning process.
Preconditioned models are maintained in is our AAALAC-accredited facilities, utilizing strict biosecurity guidelines developed under the direction of our professional staff. Biosecurity practices dictate that the animals available for preconditioning services are limited to those produced by Charles River at the facility where the service will be performed.
