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™ EAD^® 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.
