Envigo Facilities earn AAALAC Accreditation

Full accreditation from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International Council has been granted to Envigo for its breeding facilities in Bresso, Italy and Wyton, UK. This follows the accreditation of the company’s Horst, Netherlands unit earlier this year.

At the Bresso site, the contract breeding services area has been expanded and new laboratory management software installed. Improvements have also been made to the health monitoring laboratory which now offers fully validated PCR and immunology tests with the data managed through a recently validated upgraded LIMS system. The facility also has quarantine and embryo transfer areas and a research space for customers.

Dr. Paul Brooker, President of Contract Research and Research and Models Services in Europe commented: “The AAALAC accreditation of Wyton and Bresso is great news and demonstrates the high standards we set for animal welfare and quality at Envigo. This is the third accreditation for our European breeding facilities in four months and is testimony to the efforts and commitment of our professional staff.”
