Laboratory Animal Quality Network

The ICLAS Laboratory Animal Quality Network was established in 2006 as a joint initiative of ICLAS and laboratories involved in the health monitoring and/or genetics of laboratory animals.

The objectives of the Network are to develop programs that fulfil ICLAS aims of:

  • improving and maintaining the quality of animals used in research,
  • raising awareness of the importance of high quality laboratory animals among the scientific community.

The Network currently runs two programs:

Performance Evaluation Program for Diagnostic Laboratories (PEP)

A scientifically robust program designed to enable diagnostic laboratories worldwide to monitor the sensitivity and specificity of their health monitoring assays.


  •     Network representative

  •     PeP participating Labs

  •     PeP applications


Genetic Quality Monitoring Program (GQMP)

A program focused on the genetic monitoring of rodents with the following objectives:


  •      to promote education and training to increase awareness of the importance of genetic quality monitoring,

  •      to provide advice and guidance on genetic quality testing,

  •      to establish a self- assessment genetic monitoring program.
