Short Description
ISTA built its zebrafish breeding facility in 2010 and now, after more than 10 years of use, the system reached the end of its lifetime and needed to be replaced. For the new system we focused on good hygiene standards and lean processes. We choose a system exclusively based on smaller sized tanks that can be removed from the system and cleaned in a dedicated tank washer with decontamination function. The new system contains 1,344 3.5 liter tanks, providing space for about 28,000 animals.
