Inventory Aged Rats
Cohorts of the below listed male rat models are reserved monthly
for aged animal inventory. Pricing of aged animals from the aging
inventory available upon request. If the requested aged animals are
not available from our aging inventory, or require three or more
months of maintenance prior to shipment, Harlan Laboratories will
age a reserved cohort of animals to accommodate client research
requirements and account for anticipated loss from natural
attrition.

Pricing for client-reserved aging cohorts will be developed

expectations, the project work scope, and animal pricing with a
written agreement of understanding.
