f. Written standard operating practices must be developed and followed From a consensus developed during a seminar entitled "Barrier Maintenance of Rodents in Multipurpose Facilities," held at the Thirty-Sixth Annual Session of the American Association of Laboratory Animal Science on November 3-8, 1985 in Baltimore, Md.

Filter-protected cartons provide containment transport, but their purpose is largely negated by the infections accumulated prior to shipping. Since the research facility is multipurpose (i.e., houses animals J

The stock is monitored and found to be free of pathogens and then transferred in filter-protected cartons to a barrier room in the research facility where the experimentation is accomplished. Option 4: Animals are user Transported Housed in barrier maintained, controlled, in filter- facility, barrier room, and monitored and are ~ protected ~barrier room with filter from protected barrier cartons cages and laminar flow breeding facility change station, or Trexler isolators Option 4 offers maximum effectiveness in preventing pathogen contamination.
