As a US-based preclinical oncology contract research organization (CRO), our facility was designed to house immunodeficient animals and genetically engineered rodent models. It incorporates a surgical and procedure suite, gowning room, and animal housing rooms with maximum barrier status.All of our CRO services are conducted in our independent facility located in Lexington, Kentucky, USA.

In order to provide high quality contract research (CRO) services, Hera commissioned and built a state-of-the-art facility designed specifically to house SCID and specialized mouse and rat models (i.e., the SRG rat, nude mice, NSG mice, NCG mice, SCID mice, or nude rats). The vivarium facility includes an entry way, gowning room, surgical suite, and housing rooms for both mice and rats.

To ensure an environment of utmost sterility, Hera uses the Innovive Innorack® and Innocage® system to house all rodents. The disposable (recyclable) caging system includes high-performance dual HEPA-filtered Individually Ventilated Caging (IVC). The cages, materials, bedding, and water are provided sterile by Innovive. In addition, Hera only uses irradiated food and enrichment products. All animal holding rooms utilize positive air pressure to maintain barrier status. The vivarium maintains standard rodent housing conditions for temperature, humidity, and air circulation change rates. Emergency power and other back-up equipment are operational in the event of disaster or system irregularity.

Hera’s Animal Welfare Program was awarded an AAALAC accreditation in 2019. AAALAC accreditation is a voluntary process that Hera has undertaken in adherence to the highest standards for animal care, to exceed compliance with local, state, and federal laws that regulate animal research. AAALAC assessment evaluates all aspects of animal care and use including facilities, animal housing, veterinary care, standard operating procedures, and independent oversight by IACUC. Additionally, our occupational health and safety program was evaluated to ensure personnel safety in working with animals.

Animals are housed in species-specific holding rooms for mice and rats. All animal handling and husbandry is done inside a ClassII/A2 biosafety cabinet. Enrichment is provided to all animals in the form of various nesting materials, huts, chew blocks, and marbles. All animals are observed daily for abnormalities in behavior and health.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required at all times by all personnel and visitors to be worn in all lab and vivarium spaces which involve animal care and use. This includes autoclaved sterile scrubs, face masks, hair nets, gloves, and gowns.

Immunodeficient animals are tested for:

IDEXX EDx / Opti-XXpress Mouse Comprehensive Panel Includes: P. pneumotropica, M. pulmonis, Staph aureus, β-hemolytic Streptococcus (Groups A, B, C, G), Helicobacter spp, K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, Salmonella spp, C. rodentium, C. piliforme, Ps. aeruginosa, MHV, MVM, MPV 1-5, MNV, TMEV, EDIM, MAV 1, MAV 2, Pinworms, Fur mites, S. muris, E. muris, T. muris
