CAGE+™ IS TACONIC BIOSCIENCES® INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO MURINE CONTRACT BREEDING SERVICES

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 (Bernama) -- Taconic Biosciences, a global leader in providing drug discovery animal model solutions, has launched Cage+, a holistic, innovative approach to murine contract breeding services.

Cage+ delivers complete stewardship of projects from start to finish, allowing investigators to focus on research with confidence that animal model supply is reliable, at the highest quality, and on budget, according to a statement.

“Researchers should demand better from contract breeding service providers, and this view is the driving factor behind our Cage+ stewardship-based approach to colony management solutions,” said vice president, scientific services, Dr John Couse.

“With Cage+, researchers will view Taconic as an extension of their team, leveraging the collaboration of scientists and experts. Our approach allows investigators to focus their time, energy, and resources on research while trusting their custom model animal development and production to Taconic.”

Biomedical and pharmaceutical research has profoundly changed over the past two decades. Studies are more advanced and rapid-paced, compressing the time to produce experimental data required to support well-informed decisions.

Taconic’s Cage+ Colony Management Solutions closes the gap between biomedical research programme demands and the antiquated approach offered by many contract breeding services.

Cage+ employs a holistic approach, combining standard animal breeding and husbandry elements with comprehensive breeding design expertise, project-specific methodology to reduce animal welfare concerns, budget monitoring, and proactive project management and communication.

Cage+ allows investigators to fully leverage proven expertise in complex model design and breeding to advance research programmes.

When coupled with Taconic’s Custom Model Generation Solutions, Cage+ Colony Management Solutions brings a comprehensive and seamless ‘design to management’ service, allowing clients to leverage the most complex genetically engineered models from initial design through to scaled production of study cohorts.

Founded in 1952, Taconic provides the best animal solutions so that customers can acquire, custom-generate, breed, precondition, test, and distribute valuable research models worldwide.
