Animal Deliveries
When planning experiments, investigators should be aware of the
time normally required between placement of an animal order and
delivery of those animals by the commercial vendor. Please note
that unusual animals may require additional time for delivery. Holiday
schedules and/or inclement weather may also change normal delivery
days; in these cases, please contact the DLAR Office (444-2194)
for scheduling information.
For regular delivery of rodents, the order cut-off time/day to
place your order with DLAR, and the scheduled delivery days, are
as follows:
| Vendor |
Order Cut-Off
Time/Day
|
Delivery Day (if Max -Iso = following week)
|
| Taconic |
9 a.m. Tuesday |
Wednesday |
| Jackson |
12 p.m. Monday |
Wednesday |
| Charles River |
12 p.m. Friday |
Tuesday |
Please note: If you are ordering rodents to be housed under maximum
isolation conditions, a two-week waiting period between placement
of the order and delivery of the animals is required. This time
period is needed to assure space for housing and to sterilize necessary
equipment.
For delivery of all other laboratory
animal species, please contact the Business Office (444-2194).
If you have special housing needs,
please contact either Mr. Mike Gliganic (444-1162) or Ms. Vanessa Scott (444-6956) at least two weeks in advance of placing your
order.
