FAQs
-
What is a turnkey vivarium lab space?
A turnkey vivarium lab is a ready-to-use facility for in vivo research, with housing, procedure rooms, equipment, compliance (AAALAC/IACUC), and staff—so companies can start immediately without building or running their own vivarium.
-
What kind of studies can I conduct in Mispro facilities?
Researchers can conduct biosafety level I (BSL I) and biosafety level II (BSL II) rodent studies that have been approved by Mispro’s IACUC.
-
How quickly can we launch a study?
For new clients, there are a few factors that affect start dates for studies, such as protocol approval and receipt of animals. Most clients begin their in vivo studies within 4-6 weeks from a signed contract.
-
Can I leave my stuff at the facility?
Yes. In private and semi-private rooms and suites your space is yours and accessible only by your company. Mispro staff access housing rooms to deliver animal care and enter procedure rooms for regular maintenance and upon request.
