Non-Commercial Orders
Non-Commercial orders are considered "all animals that do not come from commercial stock via standard lab suppliers." For non-commercial orders, use the eSirius3G website.
There are two types of Non-commercial sources:
- Citywide Non-Commercial Sources - Facilities or protocols affiliated with 澳门六合彩开奖预测 involving ACC-authorized protocols, e.g. A different ACC-approved protocol.
- External Sources - Animal transfers to HSACF or West Valley Facility from an institution not affiliated with 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and not having ACC-authorized protocols, e.g. from University of Kentucky to HSACF.
In either case, the source be must part of the approved Animal Use Protocol on which the animals are being ordered.
The Primary Research Technician Responsible for Animal Care of the animals requested is required to have the following:
- ACC Authorization - The Primary Research Technician responsible for animal care must be added to the protocol via an AUS Protocol Modification submission prior to animal requisition submission.
- Facility Card Access & Related Training – The Primary Research Technician responsible for animal care must have a currently active Facility Access Card and adequate facility training.
Suppliers
Only animals ordered from ACVS standard suppliers are immediately approved by ACVS. Orders for animals from non-approved suppliers require more lead time to process. Information on animal health status is required from the vendor for ACVS approval. In addition, non-standard source animals usually undergo quarantine and health testing prior to release to area of choice within the animal facility. Surcharges may apply for orders that require additional time in sourcing, obtaining records and testing.
