Germ-Free Facility

The Germ-Free facility is specifically to support with breeding germ-free wild type mouse colonies and experimental gnotobiotic mouse studies. The germ-free unit houses germ-free and gnotobiotic mice in both positive and negative pressure isolators as well as ISOcages and SPP racks for both CL1 and CL2 studies. The germ-free mice aid researchers in studying immunology, oncology, metabolic functions and infectious diseases, drug discovery and microbiome targeting.
