Animalab, key partner for EU
Animalab
Animalab are a reputable distributor of laboratory and vivarium equipment for those facilities and research organisations that work with animals. Since 2004 they have offered advice and a comprehensive suite of products to the EU preclinical in vivo landscape.
As a core partner of Animalab, we’re proud to provide access to both of our identification systems through the business. Facilities across Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Croatia and Slovenia can choose to implement the Labstamp tail tattooing system or the Digitail RFID tagging system into their research through Animalab.
Providing access to research alternatives
Joint by an aligned ethos of making research better for all, Animalab are a key partner of Somark. They help to discover new possibilities, which is paramount in the work that Somark does to broaden the researcher’s identification methodologies.
Their portfolio for the scientific, research and industrial sectors continues to grow, but a long-standing brand within this range is both the Labstamp system and the Digitail system.
Benefits of choosing Animalab & Somark?
- Our full equipment list along with readers and accessories are available through Animalab, helping streamline the EU purchase journey since we operate from a US-based headquarters.
- Animalab also work with two other partners of Somark to supply mice. Jackson Labs mice and Charles River Laboratories mice are available in various traditional strains, including the C57BL/6NCrl and BALB/c.
- Labstamp was developed to mitigate all the common problems with ear-based identification methods, which is why it is a full kit that accounts for a reader, the system, the restraint and the ink sliders. This can be shipped worldwide and offers an ‘apply once and read forever’ approach leaving both Animalab and Somark available for ongoing slider orders.
- Animalab offer a great knowledge base to facilitate researchers, this aligns with our approach to facilitate even the most novice of technicians to innovate their ID methodologies. With minimal application training provided, even novel researchers can productively apply the tattoos and tags!
Choosing our methods
We recognize that in order to achieve the quickest experimental start time, you need to source and set up your identification method.
In cases of unfamiliarity with Labstamp or Digitail, this may be the determiner to a more traditional method, however, we work closely with Animalab to ensure that we can provide all the most relevant information prior to purchase, along with our quick start guides and extensive resources.
We believe that both the Labstamp system and the Digitail system are so easy to learn, that it only takes a few minutes to master both methods. This is why global accessibility is paramount to our movement towards better research for the person and the animal.
Regardless of whether you choose to purchase your system directly through us, or within a wider purchase order from Animalab, we pride ourselves on offering the most convenient options for you to source either Labstamp or Digitail.
