Advisors in laboratory animal science and technology – or just adlast – is a small, newly started company focusing only on providing our clients with easy access to highly qualified and independent specialists for consultancy assignments within the in vivo research space.Internally, we have wide-ranging specialist knowledge about laboratory rodents, gnotobiology and translational microbiome research, and through our extensive network we can provide expert advice in almost any laboratory species and area of expertise.The company was founded in response to an identified need for specialist knowledge in especially small and medium sized biotech companies, which cannot necessarily afford to permanently employ the plethora of specialists required to properly address the multifaceted discipline of running a state-of-the-art in vivo facility, without removing valuable resources from their primary business objective.We also work for larger biotech and pharmaceutical companies on specific projects that require additional resources or specialist knowledge in a particular area of laboratory animal science and technology.At the core of our business concept is a wish to continuously improve animal welfare and the quality of in vivo research through application of science, technology and best practices – to the benefit of the animal resource, our clients, and the scientific community in general.
