Location of Colonies

Beginning in late 2005 or early 2006, the NIA aged rodent colonies will be transitioning to new contracts, utilizing three different contractors. For a period time, young and old animals may be shipped from different contractors, requiring two Purchase Orders for a single order of animals. Orders for animals from different contractor facilities must be submitted on separate completely filled out NIA order forms. The following chart indicates which contractor will house the different strains. Our website will be up-dated to show the date of birth (DOB) at which the transition is made from one contractor to another. Contact the order desk for clarification of location.
