Why Consider CRADL® for Your Vivarium Needs?

Renting vivarium lab space in CRADL® makes it possible for researchers to focus their financial assets, time, and resources on their in vivo studies. Whether you are a startup looking for flexible space for your preclinical research or an established biotech or pharmaceutical company looking to expand without the high cost and timelines building infrastructure requires, renting a CRADL® vivarium space is an efficient solution.  

Start with a single row, rack, or private room, and expand space and services as your needs grow. With flexible contract options, you can initiate studies in our vivarium quickly and compliantly, without the risk of long-term capital commitments.
