Collecting blood for serology testing from research animals can be a challenging process that leads to increased stress in your animal. Exclusive to Charles River, our HemaTIP™ microsampler simplifies this process by placing the collection media on the tip of an easy-to-hold stylus.

Norecopa has constructed four databases, which together with all the text on this website can be searched simultaneously using the search field at the top of every page.

The Classic AVs database complements NORINA by providing information on audiovisual products produced some years ago, using technology which has been surpassed by modern digital techniques.

FRAME carries out both lab-based and office-based research. Click on the links  for more information.

Recent studies highlight deficiencies in the design and presentation of animal experiments, which have consequences for the validity of the resulting data.

This website provides a series of resources to support the adoption of best practice for commonly used procedures in animal research.

The third ‘R’, Refinement, is essential to consider for people who are caring for animals used in science and/or carrying out scientific procedures on animals.

Many of the resources cited on this microsite are specific to certain types of animals. To assist in finding these resources the Animal Index groups Three Rs resources by category and/or species of animal.
