Anilocus provides in vivo preclinical services designed to support pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies throughout their drug development journey. Our experienced team delivers high-quality research services from our facility, ensuring regulatory compliance and scientific excellence for every project.
Rodent Study Design and Execution
Our rodent study capabilities encompass both mice and rats across various strains and genetic backgrounds. We work closely with clients to design studies that meet their specific research objectives, whether evaluating novel therapeutics, assessing safety profiles, or investigating disease mechanisms. Our team has extensive experience in power analysis, randomization strategies, and experimental design optimization to ensure robust, reproducible results.
Multiple Drug Administration Routes
Anilocus offers expertise in all major drug administration routes, including intraperitoneal (IP), intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC), and oral (PO) delivery methods. Our skilled technicians ensure precise dosing and consistent administration techniques across all study subjects, maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and animal welfare.
We also provide specialized administration routes such as intrathecal, intracerebroventricular, and topical applications when required by specific research protocols. Our team works with clients to select the most appropriate administration route based on drug properties, therapeutic objectives, and regulatory requirements.
Advanced Surgical Procedures
Our surgical capabilities include tumor implantation procedures for oncology research, catheterization for continuous drug delivery or sampling, and specialized surgeries tailored to specific research needs. All procedures are performed using sterile techniques in dedicated surgical suites equipped with appropriate monitoring and life support systems.
Our experienced surgical team maintains high success rates while prioritizing animal welfare and minimizing post-operative complications. We provide comprehensive post-surgical care and monitoring to ensure optimal recovery and study integrity.
Sample Collection
Anilocus offers extensive sample collection services including blood, various tissues, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and complete organ harvesting. Our skilled technicians utilize appropriate collection techniques to preserve sample integrity for downstream analyses, whether for bioanalytical testing, histological examination, or molecular studies.
Behavioral Studies
Our behavioral neuroscience capabilities include custom apparatus design and protocol development for specialized research applications. We fabricate modular, lab-ready systems tailored for specific behavioral endpoints, from standard anxiety and depression models to complex cognitive assessments and drug self-administration studies.
Our custom behavioral systems integrate advanced technologies including video tracking, automated data collection, and environmental controls to provide precise, reproducible behavioral measurements. We offer both standard protocols and custom paradigm development to meet unique research requirements.
Tissue Processing and Histology
Anilocus provides complete tissue fixation and processing services for histological analysis. Our histology capabilities include proper tissue preservation, sectioning, and preparation for various staining techniques and immunohistochemical analyses. We maintain strict protocols to ensure optimal tissue morphology and antigen preservation.
Our processing capabilities accommodate various tissue types and research applications, from routine histopathology to specialized immunofluorescence studies. We work with clients to optimize processing protocols for specific research objectives and downstream analytical requirements.
Organ and Tissue Analysis
Our gross pathology services include systematic organ and tissue weighing, macroscopic examination, and documentation of abnormal findings. We provide standardized data collection and reporting formats that support regulatory submissions and facilitate data analysis.
Our team has extensive experience in identifying treatment-related changes and distinguishing them from normal anatomical variations or background pathology. We provide detailed photographic documentation and written reports for all significant findings.
