-  Following on from the highly successful SMARTBOX Prodigy euthanasia device EZ Systems has released their next generation of Prodigy technology ( the SMARTBOX Prodigy Plus ). The Prodigy Plus uses the cage parameters and flow rates to automatically run the cycle without further input from the user. Each user can only see the cages authorised by the administrator. The Plus will treat up to three rat cages simultaneously and the touch screen display shows the cycle stage, cycle times, and flow rates.

-  One year ago Inotiv, a leading contract research organisation (CRO) specialising in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services , announced the proposed acquisition of Envigo, we can now confirm that Inotiv has completed this acquisition.

 - Inotiv and Envigo are combining their company strengths to enhance our ability to to deliver a full spectrum of discovery -to- approval solutions and Biological Associates will continue in their capacity as sole regional distributor for existing Research Models and Services (RMS) and Teklad diets.
