If in the past we've used purified diets from another manufacturer, why should we switch to TestDiet^®?

 

One of the fundamental reasons for using purified diets is that they are "repeatable."  Purified diets by their very nature are, or should be, "open formula" so that they can be repeated identically and modified easily by the research community or any manufacturer. Therefore, every purified diet formula can be produced exactly the same by any manufacturer.

So, why choose Purina Mills TestDiet^® over the others?

 

There are many reasons, consider these four:

 

1. Quality

Founded in 1894, Purina Mills, LLC/PMI Nutrition International has grown to become the world's leader in animal nutrition products, research, and innovation. At the LongView^® Research Center in Gray Summit, Missouri, USA, nutritionists and veterinarians conduct extensive independent research, observing firsthand the interrelationship of sound dietary practices, good health, proper growth and development, and optimum performance.

We are research-focused. We have assembled a team of leading animal nutrition experts who consult with researchers to custom-formulate diets for their specific areas of study. TestDiet^® formulates and produces custom grain-based and purified diets for animal research in academic, government, and pharmaceutical laboratories worldwide. At our state-of-the-art laboratory in Richmond, Indiana, USA, we operate the cleanest, most efficient, most comprehensive GMP- and GLP-compatible, ISO-certified lab animal diet production laboratory anywhere.

 

We offer exactly the same purified diet formulas, produced fresh in our ISO-certified production laboratory, in 5 business days or less.

 

2. Service

Whether your lab is in the United States or half way around the world, TestDiet^® is uniquely equipped to provide you professional service of the highest caliber. From the widest range of animal nutrition experts to consult on all your research diet needs, to regional sales managers and local distributors providing personal service, we assure you competent and rapid response to all your research needs.

 

You receive the world-class quality and expertise of Purina . . . the personal service and attention of local professional dealers. For example, your Certified LabDiet^® Dealer can assure that your diets are delivered in one consolidated shipment, rather than "piece-meal" through common carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.); or that they are stocked for you in their local warehouse to provide you just-in-time delivery – as you choose.

 

3. Reliability

TestDiet^®/ is part of a highly-respected family of human and animal nutrition companies, doing over $6 billion in annual sales, with the depth of expertise and resources to assure you absolute reliability and corporate accountability.

 

Whether your research costs only hundreds of dollars or involves multi-year research costing in the tens of millions of dollars, to you it is priceless. Why trust such a vital part of your research–your animals' diets–to anyone else? No one else has the the resources, longevity, stability, and century-long reputation to protect your interests.

 

We have been serving the animal nutrition market for over one hundred years–we'll be around for at least the next hundred. When we say that we stand behind our products, we have the corporate resources available to make that mean something.

 

4. Value

TestDiet^® is committed to providing the highest quality lab animal research diets at the most reasonable prices. While we will never "cut corners" in order to lower prices, often we are able to provide exactly the same formulas as other manufacturers at significant savings. What we offer you is impeccable quality, exemplary service, and absolute reliability at a fair and reasonable price.^TM
