International Health Monitoring (IHMS)

 

International Health Monitoring SystemTM (IHMSTM)

There is an explosion in the worldwide use of Genetically Modified Models. Collaborators need to share these models and transfer them from one facility to another. Veterinarians and facility managers need to be able to easily access consistent uniform data on microbiological profile of these animals to secure and control their facilities.

The Taconic International Health Monitoring SystemTM (IHMSTM) gives scientists worldwide a standardized system to determine and communicate the health status of rodent models used in their in vivo studies.

IHMSTM meets the most rigorous requirements of scientists worldwide. The comprehensive system meets all standards set by FELASA in Europe, and by Taconic, the recognized world leader in establishing and communicating health standards. The IHMSTM is defined by a comprehensive list of agents, test frequency and test methods.

IHMSTM is a service that gives the results you need for worldwide distribution of your valuable mice and rats. A list of the IHMS™ Panels (PDF file: 329KB) and the agents covered in each panel is available.
