Taconic Biosciences Lança Solução de Importação TruIMPORT™

Modelos de roedores originários da China podem ser importados para praticamente qualquer viveiro acadêmico sem quarentena

RENSSELAER, NY, May 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Taconic Biosciences, líder global no fornecimento de soluções de modelos animais para descoberta de medicamentos, anuncia um aprimoramento significativo para a Taconic-Cyagen Model Generation Alliance, a importação contínua de novos modelos geneticamente modificados originários da China com a TruIMPORT™.

Pesquisadores de instituições sem fins lucrativos têm um papel fundamental na descoberta de medicamentos; no entanto, a terceirização da geração de modelos animais pode ser proibitiva em termos de custos ou ser um desafio logístico. Os obstáculos ao acesso de recursos de modelos animais podem impedir pesquisas importantes. As soluções potenciais para este problema normalmente envolvem uma troca. Dependendo do país de origem, as opções rentáveis podem exigir uma longa quarentena dos animais ou reprodução adicional para garantir que os animais atendam às normas sanitárias exigidas para a entrada na instalação animal da instituição. Essas etapas adicionais podem custar tempo e dinheiro ao pesquisador.

Lançada originalmente em 2018, a Taconic-Cyagen Model Generation Alliance (Aliança), para pesquisadores acadêmicos e sem fins lucrativos, aproveita os talentos de duas empresas líderes do setor para criar uma solução exclusivamente adaptada para instituições de pesquisa sem fins lucrativos. A Taconic Biosciences tem mais de 65 anos de experiência em modelos de roedores e a Cyagen Biosciences é uma líder chinesa em eficiência de geração de modelos e uma estrutura de custos competitiva. Desde o seu início, a Aliança tornou-se líder reconhecida na prestação de serviços de geração de modelos para acadêmicos e pesquisadores sem fins lucrativos. A TruIMPORT™ é uma evolução importante nesta oferta de serviços. Com ela, os modelos animais da China podem ser importados para instalações de animais dos Estados Unidos e da Europa, atendendo aos requisitos de viveiro existentes. Fornecendo um conjunto de opções, a TruIMPORT™ permite que os clientes acessem a geração eficiente de modelos com várias opções de preços, dependendo do cronograma de entrega, padrão de saúde e tamanho da coorte desejados.

“Nosso principal objetivo é resolver os problemas dos nossos clientes”, disse o Dr. John Couse, vice-presidente de serviços científicos da Taconic. “Embora a Aliança venha fornecendo a geração eficiente de modelos há anos, a preocupação com a importação é uma barreira para muitos clientes. Com a criação de várias opções sob a TruIMPORT™, os clientes agora podem importar modelos de roedores da China sem quarentena, independentemente dos requisitos do seu viveiro.”

O portfólio TruIMPORT™ consiste em três opções de importação: RapidRELAY™, RapidCHECK™ e RapidEXPANSION™. Os clientes podem comparar as especificações dos produtos aqui para optar pela combinação certa de cronograma, padrões de saúde e produtos que atendam suas necessidades.

Taconic Biosciences lance la solution d’importation TruIMPORT™

Les modèles de rongeurs originaires de Chine peuvent être importés dans pratiquement n’importe quel vivarium universitaire sans quarantaine

RENSSELAER, New York, 28 mai 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Taconic Biosciences, l’un des leaders mondiaux de la fourniture de solutions à base de modèles d’animaux pour la découverte de médicaments, a annoncé une amélioration significative de son alliance pour la génération de modèles Taconic-Cyagen, qui permet l’importation transparente de nouveaux modèles génétiquement modifiés provenant de Chine en vertu de la réglementation TruIMPORT™.

Les chercheurs travaillant au sein des institutions à but non lucratif jouent un rôle essentiel dans la découverte de médicaments. Toutefois, l’externalisation de la génération de modèles animaux peut représenter un défi en termes de logistique ou de coût. Les obstacles à l’accès aux ressources de modèles animaux peuvent entraver certaines recherches importantes. Les solutions potentielles à ce problème ont toujours débouché sur des compromis. Selon le pays d’origine, les options rentables peuvent nécessiter une longue quarantaine des animaux, ou une reproduction supplémentaire visant à assurer que les animaux respectent les normes de santé requises pour pénétrer dans les installations animalières de l’institution. Ces étapes additionnelles peuvent engendrer un coût temporel et financier pour les chercheurs.

Initialement lancée en 2018, l’Alliance pour la génération de modèles Taconic-Cyagen (ci-après l’« Alliance ») destinée aux chercheurs des pôles universitaires et organismes à but non lucratif tire parti des talents de deux sociétés leaders du secteur pour créer une solution spécialement adaptée aux établissements de recherche bénévole. Taconic Biosciences possède plus de 65 années d’expérience dans la création de modèles de rongeurs, tandis que Cyagen Biosciences est un leader basé en Chine spécialisé dans l’efficacité des générations de modèles et la mise en place de structures de coûts compétitives. Depuis sa création, l’Alliance est devenue un leader reconnu dans le domaine des services de génération de modèles à destination des chercheurs universitaires et bénévoles. La technologie TruIMPORT™ représente une évolution importante dans cette offre de services. Elle permet d’importer des modèles animaux chinois dans des installations animales aux États-Unis et en Europe, tout en respectant les exigences des vivariums en vigueur. Grâce à sa vaste palette d’options, TruIMPORT™ permet aux clients d’accéder à une génération de modèles efficace, en disposant de plusieurs options de tarification selon le calendrier de livraison, la norme sanitaire et la taille de cohorte souhaités.

« Notre principal objectif est de résoudre les problèmes pour nos clients », a déclaré le Dr John Couse, vice-président en charge des services scientifiques chez Taconic. « Alors que l’Alliance fournit une génération de modèles efficace depuis des années, les préoccupations liées à l’importation ont constitué un obstacle pour de nombreux clients. En créant de multiples options sous la protection TruIMPORT™, les clients peuvent désormais importer des modèles de rongeurs depuis la Chine sans quarantaine, quelles que soient les exigences de leur vivarium », a-t-il ajouté.

La gamme TruIMPORT™ comprend trois options d’importation nommées RapidRELAY™, RapidCHECK™, et RapidEXPANSION™. Les clients peuvent comparer les caractéristiques des produits ici afin de déterminer celle qui représente la combinaison de calendrier, de normes sanitaires et de livrables répondant à leurs besoins.
