Bio-Quant offers variable term leases of its facility's top quality animal rooms for exclusive use by biotech companies.

This plan enables an organization to extend its laboratory capacity without risking long term commitment of capital expenditures to fixed costs.

Bio-Quant’s vivarium was custom built to our specifications and incorporates all features required by USDA and NIH. Our vivarium services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.




This is the lowest cost approach, in which you rent an animal room in our vivarium for your company's exclusive use. You pay only a fixed monthly rental and your scientists can use this room as if it was part of your own laboratory. Your scientists perform their own procedures and supply their own equipment and disposables. We order, receive and house your animals for you. We supply full husbandry as well as complete oversight for the animals’ care and well being.

With this approach, we supply an animal room for your exclusive use and we assist you in performing the procedures.

With this plan we perform the entire study on a contract basis. We can follow your written protocol or we can design the study for you. We do everything from start to finish, including purchasing the animals, performing the husbandry and all the technical, surgical and veterinarian work and writing the final report. Of course, as with any work we do, your scientists are always welcome to become involved with the study.

In all cases we take care of all regulatory and compliance issues by providing veterinary and IACUC oversight and complying with all USDA and NIH requirements.




If none of our standard plans meet your exact needs, we will create a custom plan especially for you. At your option we can offer anything from full husbandry for your research animals to complete contract research services.



Bio-Quant provides high quality service with the fastest possible turn around time. Our pricing is extremely competitive and, within reason, we will always try to work within the budget you have available. Because of the efficiency of our operation we can normally schedule your projects to start exactly when you need them.
