In vivo test system: rodents (mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs), non-rodents (rabbits, ferrets, cats, dogs, pigs/minipigs)

Facilities available:
Experimental housing: conventional and barrier housing, BSL II facility for small laboratory animals
Laboratory premises: fully equipped experimental surgery room, X-ray imaging, Laboratory of toxicology, Laboratory of clinical pathology, Laboratory of pathology and histopathology

Administration routes: besides of common administration routes (oral and parenteral, topical), intra-cardial, intra-articular, intra-ocular, intra-nasal, implantation (bone, muscle, subcutis) and inhalation routes are available.

Alternative methods of testing according to OECD, and/or ECVAM/ICVAM are strictly preferred whenever it is rational and justified.
