Sentinel

A partnership between Allentown, Inc. and Charles River Laboratories – two of Laboratory Animal Science’s most trusted and respected companies – has lead to the next generation of rodent colony health monitoring, making traditional sentinel animal monitoring programs all but obsolete.

Sentinel is an evolutionary, new Colony Health Monitoring Solution that advances the standard in health monitoring by combining an innovative, exhaust air dust plenum (EAD) capture method with PCR analysis. This unique pairing provides a colony health monitoring solution that produces more accurate results, reduces labor and cost, and requires less sentinel animals than traditional dirty bedding sentinel testing.
