a contract vivarium for companies to take the next step in their research
In vivo research requires highly specific facilities, equipment, infrastructure, and regulatory requirements, which can be a huge burden for start-up and virtual-based companies. We offer a vivarium customizable to your needs without the expense of building your own facility.
