Health Monitoring in IVC racks - SENTINEL
Certain infectious agents are not readily detected by sentinel animals exposed to soiled bedding. Therefore, this method can potentially be a poor indicator of the actual infection status of an animal rack. Through research performed at Charles River and collaborations with Allentown, Inc., Charles River qualified the PCR testing of Exhaust Air Dust (EAD™) samples collected from the Allentown Sentinel™ unit.
