Charles River Laboratories today announced an enhanced In Vitro Fertility (IVF) service bundle designed to accelerate rat-model programs across therapeutics areas, including oncology, neurology, cardiology, and metabolic. By leveraging embryo transfer, cryopreservation, and colony rederivation, teams can rapidly recover lines, expand cohorts, and safeguard critical genotypes—while reducing downtime caused by breeding bottlenecks. This offering pairs dedicated project management with optional health monitoring and genetic validation to help ensure continuity across discovery, pharmacology, and translational studies. Researchers working in these therapeutic areas can request a streamlined quote and timeline starting this quarter to keep studies on track and data flowing.
