Serology Services by Request

 

Routine rodent health assessment (sentinel program) is included in per diem.

Quarantine

Rodents from non-commercial sources will undergo a minimum 60-day quarantine/conditioning period before they can be housed in non-quarantine space. The monitoring required during quarantine includes comprehensive serological profiles, parasitology tests, and daily monitoring for evidence of infectious disease. Charges are dependent upon the number of animals received, which determines the number of sentinel animals needed and therefore the number of samples submitted. Questionable results may also require additional testing. Charges during quarantine include purchase of sentinel animals, per diems for PI animals as well as sentinel animals, specimen collection (charged at $20/hour), and serological and/or microbial testing.
