Primary Tumor Growth
We can implant any cancer cell line available for licensing into mammary fat pad, lungs, brain, blood circulation, kidney capsule, skin, muscles and other organs and tissues.
We will then monitor primary tumor growth by measuring its size and mass by a caliper, fluorescence, luminiscence, microPET, tomography and other techniques.
BioTest4U operates under the highest ethical and professional standards and places emphasis on animal care and well-being. Our protocols are reviewed by a dedicated IACUC and are conducted within a facility that has received full accreditation following on-site review by the AAALAC International Council on Accreditation.
Most animal studies begin with the introduction of a test tumor. The outcome of a study can be impacted by the quality of the initial delivery of tumor. Effective delivery of tumor requires accurate anatomical placement, minimal disruption of surrounding tissues and clean wound repair at the site of injection.
Our team of experienced scientists and veterinary technicians ensure the accurate delivery of tumor cells for optimal results. Contact us to discuss how BioTest4U’s attention to detail can move your studies forward.
