ZDSD Development Collaboration Projects
October 9th, 2009 - Categories: Animal ModelsIn an effort to better characterize the ZDSD and its application to drug discovery research we are making small cohorts of ZDSDs available to researchers who are interested in exploring the utility of the model.
ZDSD Production Barrier Opens
October 9th, 2009 - Categories: Animal ModelsProduction of the ZDSD, a novel model for metabolic disease, has been moved into a newly constructed AAALAC approved breeding facility. The ZDSD was re-derived into the facility in July 2009 and the colony is being expanded to meet demand for the model.
Expansion of Analytical Capabilities
August 4th, 2009 - Categories: ServicesWe recently expanded our analytical capabilities to include MesoScale Discovery technology. The addition of this technology gives us the expanded capability of analyzing chemokines/cytokines for inflammation, metabolic markers as well as safety/toxicology panels. These kits can be used as part of a study conducted in our facility or as standalone assays on samples you submit.
