The VRL Solution that Confirms our Industry’s Responsibility to Laboratory Animals

With a long history of providing diagnostic services for health monitoring of laboratory animals, we began more than 30 years ago with Non-Human Primates.

Not only has our focus been to provide the highest levels of service available, it is also to be responsible by giving back to the animals that help improve our quality of life.

Now, developed for you, our Purpose-Bred Screening program  ensures further advancement of compliance and animal welfare. With this program, we are significantly minimizing the risk of wild-caught animal importation.

Our program not only provides immediate confidence of compliance, it also results in a certification report that is always available online in our Certification Registry. When, if, at any time, access is needed to prove an animal is purpose bred, simply log into our registry to obtain the certifcation report.

We implement a microarray platform to produce biological markers that our systems use to detect whether an animal is purpose bred or wild-caught – with 95% accuracy.
Our proprietary program utilizes trained machine learning algorithms that determine whether the microarray data is that of captive NHPs.
We are very proud of the R&D that has resulted in this program. The Purpose-Bred Screening process and technology is not only improving research, it is adding efficency with consistency to development time.

Most importantly, it reduces stress – improving the animal’s quality of life.
