IVC-Cage Systems used at the Core Facility Laboratory Animal Breeding and Husbandry
The aim of the "Core Facility Laboratory Animal Breeding and Husbandry" (CFL) of the Medical University of Vienna is to support scientists in performing animal experiments in the field of biomedical research. Furthermore, CFL provides all requirements for animal breeding and husbandry that animal experiments can be performed within the legal framework of the corresponding national laws. CFL consists of several functional units with different hygiene levels (conventional, specific pathogen-free conditions and husbandry in biological safety levels 2 and 3) for breeding and husbandry of laboratory animals.
