The University
awarded
a contract for
animals
to
Harlan Sprague Dawley Incorporated, Chicago, IL
for
an estimated $95,000.
Animals bred and maintained in isolated colonies become genetically adapted over time, therefore, minor genetic variations occur between colonies maintained by different vendors.
This purchase is only economically available from a single source because the
genetic variations differ between colonies maintained by different vendors, therefore, jeopardize consistency of experimental results.
