1 Animal Care and Resource Center (ACRC) Facility infrastructure

2 Animal Care and Resource Center (ACRC) Facility infrastructure The ACRC currently houses four species of laboratory animals: Mice (around 140 strains which include inbred, out bred and transgenic lines), Rats (around 10 strains including out bred stocks like Wistar, Sprague Dawley, Long Evans and several transgenic rat strains), Xenopus laevis and Zebra fish. All the animal rooms have a controlled environment with 20-22'c temperature, relative humidity, 0.3 micron HEPA filtered air supply at ACPH and 14/10 light/dark cycle maintained. Most of the mouse colonies and some rat colonies are housed in Individually Ventilated Caging (IVC) systems. The ACRC maintains most rodent rooms under Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) conditions. Health monitoring of the animal colonies is done every quarter. Within the ACRC, The Mouse Genome Engineering Facility (MGEF) provides services and training to generate genetically modified mouse models, and access to cryopreservation and in vitro fertilization technologies.
