-3 Tips for Getting a Top-Quality Rat Model

Mice are the most widely used animal model for studying gene function and understanding human health. The high degree of biological and genetic similarity that mice share with humans have made mouse models a powerful tool to study the mechanisms of human disease and develop new drugs.

What is a Rat Model?

In animal research, rats are often used as models to study human diseases. A rat model is a group of rats that have been bred to develop a specific disease. By comparing the behavior or physiology of the rats with humans, scientists can gain valuable information about the disease.

Why Use a Rat Model?

Rats are a great choice for experiments because they are quite easy to care for. Rats in general have a lifespan of one year and the price of these animals is more affordable than other lab animals such as mice, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, fish, and monkeys. Rats are typically much smaller than larger lab animals and don't need as much food or space.
