Worcester-based pharmaceutical and biotech research firm Agilux Laboratories announced that it has received accreditation from the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC).
The accreditation means that Agilux, which has more than 70 employees, complies with the highest standards of animal care and handling.
The company said its accreditation follows an extensive on-site assessment by representatives of the Council on Accreditation. The council specifically cited Agilux’s “excellent program of laboratory animal care and use.” Agilux said it was also recognized for its exemplary husbandry and technical support, extensive and well-written standard operating procedures and the 33,000-square-foot facility, equipment and recent renovations.
