Pharmaceuticals & Drug Discovery
Developers and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals routinely request us to add their experimental drug compounds to our purified and grain-based diets. We homogeneously blend test compounds and medications into the diet and then, typically, form it into a pellet for ease of administration. (Powder, liquid, and tablet forms are also available). See Adding Compounds.
Pharmaceutical researchers have confidence in us because our production facility is ISO-certified; furthermore, our production lab and procedures are fully GLP-compliant. In fact, we have had pharmaceutical companies switch from their previous diet suppliers precisely because they are concerned about heightened U. S. Food and Drug Administration perusal of pre-clinical drug discovery procedures. They have concluded that if the FDA is looking for GLP-compliant procedures, they want those procedures followed by the suppliers of goods and services as well.
We have comprehensive training programs, procedures, schedules, and records of training. We have detailed standard operating procedures and the appropriate schedules and records to assure that those SOPs are being consistently observed. Whoever produces your custom diets, whoever adds your test compounds to diets for your pre-clinical trials should be able and willing to allow you complete access to their training manuals schedules, and records, written SOPs, inspection procedures, inspection records, etc., to your complete satisfaction – and to the satisfaction of the FDA.
For all your drug discovery lab animal nutrition and diet needs, we offer you impeccable quality, exemplary service, and consistent reliability at a fair and reasonable price. And, we will add your test compounds to our diets at no extra cost.
