| Cereal-base diet | Powder, pellet | NTP2000, USA | Special products on request. The NTP-2000 diet was compared with the NIH-07 diet, but can markedly improve the health and increase survival of the rats used in chronic studies, particularly in toxicity and carcinogenicity. |
| Purified diet | Powder, pellet, liquid | AIN76,AIN93, NRC, USA | AIN76 (now called AIN 76A) is earlier diet standard for rodents and has been proven to be a defective stanard because it could lead to concealed bleeding or other pathological changes during a long-term feeding. AIN93 is a standard currently used for rodents, including AIN-93M for rat/mouse (maintenance) and AIN-93G for rat/Mouse (breeding). Current version of NRC standard for rat and mouse is NRC95. AIN93 can be compared with the NRC95 by modification, called modified AIN93. The diets with any one in three standards above are regularly provided in our company. |
| Chemically defined diet | Powder, pellet, liquid | AIN93 or NRC, USA | Regular products in our company. Chemically defined diets are characterized by the nitrogen source being provided by pure amino acids, carbohydrate from refined mono- or disaccharides, and fat from purified fatty acids or triglycerides. Minerals is of reagent grade and vitamins is of high purity. |
