Animal Health Statement Regarding New Shipping Container

We conduct thorough testing and assessments to ensure the well-being of JAX® Mice during transit. The JAX shipping container is proven to protect the health and safety of mice in transit. Extensive beta testing during the hottest months of summer showed that:

• Bedding within the new container remained acceptably dry, and the container did not leak.
• Food and water levels were more than adequate to maintain 20 mice for 7-10 days in transit.
• Mice shipped by commercial air carriers were free of pathogens when tested 1 month after receipt at their U.S. or European destination.
