Services
Wound healing preclinical studies
In vivo evaluation of wound healing using incisional, excisional, thermal, and chronic/ delayed wound models in relevant species.
Infection control and biofilm testing
In vitro and in vivo testing for antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity including single- and multi-species biofilms and device-associated infection models.
Customized surgical model development and surgical services
Design and execution of custom surgical models, surgical space rental, and safety studies (examples: rabbit vaginal mucosal irritation, pig dental implant).
Electron microscopy imaging
Electron microscopy imaging with standard digital image deliverables and defined lead time.
MIC / MBC and related antimicrobial assays
In vitro antimicrobial screening including MIC, MBC, time-kill, and zone of inhibition assays for initial assessment of antimicrobial activity.
Complex multi-species biofilm testing
Establishment and testing of multi-species biofilms using flow-through systems to evaluate antimicrobial and surface performance against mature biofilms.
