Why Mispro for your preclinical in vivo Oncology studies?

Control

A contract vivarium provides scientists with complete control of in vivo rodent studies in an expertly managed, fully staffed, and stable research environment, which is essential for achieving accurate and reliable results. In a CV, you can ensure that the animals are housed and cared for in a controlled and consistent environment, free from any external variables that could impact the outcome of your studies.  

Efficiency

In Mispro’s vivarium facilities, founding scientists pursuing the development of novel or cutting-edge cancer therapeutics have the flexibility to tailor the study design and animal models to fit your specific research needs and objectives, such as with CRISPR technology, allowing for the most effective and efficient use of your resources.

Environment

Contract vivarium lab facilities are environmentally controlled and are fully equipped with all necessary equipment, systems, and specialty rooms for in vivo rodent studies, including biosafety cabinets (BSC’s), IVC rack and caging systems, downdraft tables, and necropsy rooms.  CV’s offer flexible choices for animal housing and procedure rooms, including private rooms and suites big enough to fit imaging machines (MRI; IVIS), centrifuges, and other specialized equipment needed for preclinical cancer research.

Services

In Mispro’s AAALAC-accredited research environments, all clients are supported with comprehensive all-inclusive laboratory animal services and regulatory compliance oversight services including animal husbandry, veterinary oversight, and IACUC. Our experienced and certified animal care technicians, attending and clinical vets, and expert regulatory compliance committee ensures that your animal models are stable and free from stress and that all studies conducted in Mispro facilities are ethical, humane, and follow the 3R’s of animal research.  

A Mispro contract vivarium is an optimized environment and solid strategic approach for biotech and biopharma companies pursuing oncology drug development.

In conclusion, a Mispro contract vivarium is an optimized environment and solid strategic approach for biotech and biopharma companies pursuing oncology drug development. By providing complete control and customization of the research environment, enabling the use of trending technology and techniques, and providing comprehensive support throughout the preclinical in vivo stage of drug development, Mispro can help accelerate your company’s development of novel and proprietary cancer treatments.
