Webinar Overview
Frequently used in biomedical research, biologic materials (cell cultures, tumors, etc.) can pose various threats to your lab if they’re contaminated, especially if the contaminant is zoonotic or a human pathogen. These pose threats to animal welfare and can ultimately compromise your research outcomes, which is why it’s vital to test these biologics and ensure they’re free of pathogens.
This webinar highlights the importance of utilizing a quarantine for biologic materials to screen for pathogen contamination before being introduced to animal models.
