Consolidated will be showcasing its state-of-the-art X1TM sterilizer control system. Designed and programmed with “ease-of-use” in mind, the X1 Controller enables technicians to program up to 50 sterilization cycles and features the ability to create “favorite” cycle recipes.
Lynx will be showcasing their rack washers, cannel washer, bedding handle systems. The Lynx Mission to provide Animal Care washing systems of the highest standard, quality, and reliability in the industry.
Hosted by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, the National Meeting is the largest gathering in the world of professionals concerned with the production, care and use of laboratory animals. Scheduled to take place in Denver from October 13–17, this year’s meeting — AALAS’s 70th — seems especially promising, with an exciting slate of workshops, panel sessions and seminars hosted by members of the academic community, research institutions, government organizations and more.
This year’s Spotlight Forum theme — One Health: Connections Between Animal, Human, and Environmental Health — recognizes the connection between the health of people and the health of animals and the environment.
*As an added bonus Consolidated has put together this wonderful list of tips to help first-time attendees make the most out of their experience.
