Working in Wilmington
Located at our corporate headquarters, the Wilmington production facility offers a variety of immunodeficient and VAF-Elite® animal models. Wilmington also maintains the foundation colonies that support all global production. These foundation colonies help maintain the genetic heterogeneity of outbred stock, and inbred colonies to prevent the genetic drift that would otherwise occur in geographically separate breeding colonies. Through our exclusive International Genetic Standardization (IGS) program, these foundation colonies are connected to production colonies maintained at facilities throughout the world.
