Services that we conduct for our customers

Service and Facilities Unit

Facilities

·         Positive pressure animal and research rooms to reduce pathogen from contaminate the rooms.

·         Individual access system on every animal and research rooms.

·         Three breeding rooms for production of SPF mice and rats.

·         All SPF laboratory rodents are placed in Individual Ventilated Cages (IVC) to prevent adventitious microbial agents.

·         There are two spacious research rooms. These two rooms use HEPA filtration system, with controlled temperature between 21 to 23°c, and relative humidity in a range of 50 to 60%.

·         Two autoclave machine available in this facility for decontamination and sterilization of equipment, animal feed, bedding, and cages.

·         Two dressing rooms and bathrooms for men and women equipped with toilets, and lockers adequate for researchers.

·         Using two corridor concept, clean and dirty corridor. Unidirectional flow inside the facility. Researchers will enter the facility through clean corridor and exit via dirty corridor.

·         Two research rooms for housing SPF animals used for research.

Services

·         To breed and produce SPF laboratory animal especially mice and rats in a large scale as to meet the market needs.

·         To sell SPF laboratory animal to researchers from UPM and others.

·         To sell SPF laboratory animal to researchers that conduct their study in this facility.

·         To provide space and the state of art facilities to researchers from within and outside UPM to conduct research work at the facility.

·         To conduct training and courses to postgraduate students and researchers from inside and outside UPM on laboratory animal use and research.

·         To provide advice and veterinary consultancy on the laboratory animals use and research.

·         24 hours Veterinary Services to look after on management, health, husbandry and care of SPF laboratory animal.

objectives our establishment

Objectives of our CoMET

• ·         To become one-stop centre for reference and consultation in laboratory animal research field as an effort to maintain UPM as research university.

INTRO FOR ALL

Introduction

            Comparative Medicine and Technology Unit (CoMET) is the first specific pathogen free (SPF) laboratory animal facility build in this country that is conforms to international standards in terms of temperature, ventilation, humidity and lighting. This unit also plans to seeks accreditation from Association for Accreditation and Assessment of Laboratory Animal Care International (AALAC), a globally recognized international body that accreditate laboratory animal facility, to validate that this unit is managing and utilizing the animals in accordance to international guidelines. With validation from AALAC, this unit thus would able to attract more contract research from private sectors, national and international agencies such as from USA and Europe. This unit planning to seeks accreditation for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) from Standard Malaysia that recognized good quality of laboratory services.

                To undertake this task, CoMET will be equipped with the state of the art equipments as well as has in its organization, experienced, well trained and dedicated personnel who will provide excellent care and services to animals. This unit will be the centre for research and breeding of SPF laboratory mice and rats in UPM.  To meet the best services for customer, this unit will provide 24 hours veterinary services. Apart from this, CoMET will also be able to provide training and courses for students and researchers in various disciplines of laboratory animal science.   Experimental Medicine Unit aims to be the center of excellence and competence for laboratory animal research in the future.
