Webinar Overview
Sentinel-free soiled bedding (SFSB) sampling has revolutionized rodent health surveillance by improving pathogen detection while reducing the need for sentinel animals. Our PathogenBinder® system is a first-of-its-kind commercialized SFSB method to enhance pathogen detection by PCR. It has now been validated as an alternative quarantine methodology to direct colony sampling and sentinel testing, which means easier sample collection and less animal handling.
This webinar is designed for veterinarians, vivarium leaders, facility directors, and animal care staff who want to show their commitment to animal welfare while enhancing pathogen detection in the lab.
By attending, you’ll learn how PathogenBinder can help your laboratory:
- Facilitate faster, low-stress sampling for quarantine testing
- Improve detection of commonly excluded pathogens, opportunistic bacteria, and emerging agents in immunodeficient colonies
- Effectively monitor the health of exotic rodent colonies
