Equipment and facilities
Our newly renovated, state-of-the-art animal facilities cover over 2680 sq. ft. with 328 sq. ft. dedicated to our nonhuman primate facility. This multispecies facility is customizable to adapt to the specific requirements of each study with strict adherence to animal welfare regulations and standards as set by the relevant animal protection authorities.
The constant upgrading of our animal facilities and equipment has resulted in an energy-efficient and cost-competitive nonclinical research center. The facilities are equipped with a state-of-the-art HVAC system and animal rooms are continuously supplied with 100% fresh air. An integrated building management system (BMS) constantly monitors environmental parameters like room temperature, relative humidity and differential pressure in the animal facility.
