Archiving

Charles River Laboratories offers a broad range of archival services which adhere to the standards mandated by Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations. Our archival facilities and services meet or exceed all regulatory requirements for storage, tracking, and retrieval capabilities. We are committed to preserving and maintaining the quality and integrity of your data and offering expedient retrieval of your resources.

Charles River has over 100,000 square feet of dedicated space protected by several layers of security, such as controlled access via both card key and traditional lock and key, 24-hour security monitoring with automatic fire and police notification, temperature monitoring, fire wall, and automatic sprinklers. Special temperature- and humidity-controlled areas are also available to carefully store your electronic media. Storage conditions include room temperature, refrigerated, and frozen at -20°C or -70°C.
