Clinical experimental area (KEB)

The clinical experimental area is one of our facilities that is open to our users. Not only is the holding of GMO and non-GMO animals possible there but also experimental work.

The access to the KEB as well as the behaviour inside the area is regulated in a SOP.

In our clinical experimental area, a select choice of experimental work is possible, like behavioral experiments or surgical procedures. ANd our KEB-Team is available to you as well, if you have any questions.
