Confronting the rapidly growing list of new viruses in research mice: when should we care?

This online webinar takes place on Thursday 9th May 2019 at 11:00AM - 12PM EDT

This webinar involves detailing how viruses have always been a part of a rodent exclusion list for research vivariums. However, researchers face the ongoing threat of newly discovered rodent viruses that may impact their research colonies. What can you do to ensure this doesn't happen to you?

Tecniplast understand the importance of providing microbiological environmental monitoring for IVCs. The Interceptor reduces the number of sentinal animals - a positive step forward to the 3Rs. Some more benefits that come with using the Interceptor are:

  • Closed system to avoid sample contamination
  • Greater sensitivity than tradtional bedding methodology
  • Quick to identify pathogenic microorganisms, even with low infection prevalence
  • Easier and cheaper than bedding sentinels

Join Dr. Ken Henderson, PhD, Ms, Senior Director, Laboratory Scientific Diagnostic Services, Charles River, who will discuss the challenges facing the loboratory animal community with detecting, excluding and reporting the presence of recently discovered viruses.
