Rat Health Monitoring Profiles (HMP)

Heath Monitoring Profiles (HMP) are designed to produce comprehensive results whilst minimizing costs. If you require flexibility, we can create custom panels to suit your requirements. The profiles combine different technologies: microbiology (bacteriology and parasitology), molecular testing and histology.
​
Cerberus Sciences offer Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) panels (quarterly and annual), health monitoring panels (basic, full, and comprehensive), and soiled bedding sentinel (SBS) systems.
​
Panels are applicable to live animals or survival sampling. It should be noted that both methods differ in their benefits, shortcomings, and costs.
