The Animal Experimentation Service is the area dedicated to the house and care of experimental animals, and to work with experimental procedures that use them. The staff of the SEA is also officially trained and accredited: Welfare and Animal Health Specialist, Advisor on Animal Welfare, Technicians and Caregivers. Translational research needs a responsible use of experimental animals and the reproducibility of results. The use of animals of high genetic and healthy quality and their use, maintenance and well-being in appropriate facilities are mandatory to obtain these results. The SEA offers its services to maintain the animals in the right conditions and also advices and gives specialized support to the researchers in the design and realization of the experimental procedures and techniques.

Equipment

The SEA consists of 2 separate buildings:

– Conventional Facility

One floor aea of 650m2, designed according to the requirements of Decret 214/1997 and R D 53/2013; It has the necessary facilities to house up to 40 pigs, 114 rabbits, 350 rats and 2500 mice in conventional conditions and 90 ratios and 2200 mice in SPF or Special Pathogen-Free conditions (individually ventilates cages in a possitive pressure room).

The SEA facility has work halls for rodents and rabbits and 4 experimental operating theaters for pigs. It also has advanced medical equipment for small animals: bioluminescence (Hamamatsu), high frequency ultrasound (Vevo2100), intravital microscope, flow measurement equipment and probes, ECG monitor, NIP equipment, mechanical ventilators , equipment of anesthesia with sebu / isoflorane, surgery microscopes,.. For the large animals the SEA has: multiparameter monitors, defibrillators, anesthesia equipment with sebo / isoflorane, mechanical ventilators, RX (Philips and Siemens) equipment, equipment Trans-echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography (Philips iE33), intravascular echocardiography (Siemens Acuson), real-time 3D imaging equipment (CartoXP), radiofrequency ablation equipment, 12-lead ECG.

The operating theaters can be used to teach microsurgery courses, experimental surgery, medical equipment presentations.

–The Biomodule-SPF

It is a barrier area of 30m2 that can house up to 400 immunodeprimed mice. The entrance to the installation is through an air shower for people or a SAS of peroxide for materials. Work with animals is under biosafety hood, it has a preclinicalin vivo image system for fluorescence and / or bioluminescence (IVIS Spectrum) and inhalatory anesthesia equipment.

QUALITY CONTROL

ISO 9001 – Quality Management
ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system. This standard is based on a number of quality management principles that include a strong customer focus, motivation and involvement of senior management, process focus, and continuous improvement. The use of the ISO 9001 standard helps to ensure that customers receive consistent and good quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.
