Animal units
The Animal Core Facility offers housing and breeding of animals in state-of-the-art facilities at the facility's animal units.
About our units
All animals at ACF are housed in controlled environments according to legislation and guidelines.
Animal experiments can be performed in various units and labs at the core facility. For experiments with animals infected with genetically modified microorganisms (GMO) classification 1 and 2 or animals infected with human pathogenic microorganisms (BSL) classification 1 and 2, we offer fully equipped biosafety laboratories.
Quarantine rules
ACF is sectioned into a number og separate, isolated units to prevent the spread of infectious agents between animals while simultaneously allowing the users to enter the experimental units.
Rodents can only enter the SPF breeding units after embryo transfer.
Animals of unknown health status can, however, enter directly into quarantine unit 16-2.
In the overview to the right, the colours indicate the health status of the individual units.
