World-Class Bedding and Nesting Products for the R&D

SPARCONN LIFE SCIENCES was founded by a group of veterinary professionals in 2007, who have decades of research experience with rodents in Academia, Pharmaceuticals and Drug Discovery industry, with an aim to introduce the effective and economical bedding and nesting materials for laboratory animals in India. The company has its fully owned state-of-the-art ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP certified production facility to produce the bedding products with the highest degree of professionalism.

The company has been set up with the vision of providing world-class bedding and nesting products for the R&D. We view our professional experience as a vital component of our business strategy that will provide a sustainable, long-term competitive advantage in support of our global ambitions. We want to identify, develop, manufacture and successfully market innovative and cost-effective bedding and nesting products required for the care and good health of the rodents and the scientific community who work tirelessly in the animal facilities.

Importance of contact bedding


Experimental data generated in animal studies is influenced by two sets of variables; Genetic and Environmental. Unlike the genetic variables, the environmental variables can be controlled externally. One of the important variables in the microenvironment is the contact bedding. More often, the importance of the contact bedding is overlooked by the researchers. Remember, all the corn cob grit available in the market cannot be used as a contact bedding material as they are not manufactured keeping in mind, the critical scientific requirements of different laboratory rodents. The laboratory animals are in continuous association with their contact bedding throughout their lifetime.

Different species and strains with different physiological status require an exclusive type of contact bedding. It is not possible to find ideal contact bedding which meets all the requirements for the physiological well being of animals with different physiological status. Any adverse change in this variable can influence the experimental result to a larger extent. The researchers must exercise utmost caution while choosing an appropriate bedding material. Animal bedding is a controllable environmental variable that can influence experimental data and animal wellbeing. Selection of bedding is the choice of the investigator and depends on the physiological status of the animal and the research objective.

SPARCOBB™

SPARCOBB™ is an all-natural rodent bedding derived from selected portions of the corn cobs. All the corn cobs cannot be converted into bedding material. Hand-picked corn cob lots are selectively examined before they find a place to our raw material storage unit, based on strict quality standards.

Packing

We supply Autoclavable, Paper enriched Corn cob and Gamma Irradiated Corn cob bedding material. Standard packing size is 20 Kgs HDPE moisture proof durable packing. SPARCOBB is also available in Economy and Premium grades. Please contact us for further details.

Note: If you do not find the suitable product here, please write to us. We can customize the product as per your requirements for your specialized studies.


SPARCELL


Environmental Enrichment

Environmental enrichment meets the behavioral and psychological needs of the animal to a larger extent. Structured micro-environment with an appropriate environmental enrichment material can enhance the well-being of the caged laboratory animals. Experimental results have shown the preference of Paper-derived materials over Wood-derived materials. Studies also suggest that the nature (paper or wood) of the nesting material is less important than its structure.


SPARCELL is cellulose based nesting material produced from recycled paper. Chemically inert, odorless, and non-palatable. Clean, almost dust free and autoclavable. Nesting material helps animals to engage in nest building activities. Experiments on rodents have well established that when they are able to build nests, rodents are less disturbed by sound, light, motion and temperature changes of their macro environment. SPARCELL is available in three different formats, packed in LDPE Poly bags of different volumes/sizes. Each batch is supplied with Certificate of Analysis for commonly known contaminants in paper nesting materials.

Pest Control Programs

In addition to quality control as per HACCP system, we have suitable pest and rodent control programs in our production facility and storage units to prevent the entry of pests and rodents and to reduce the risk of contamination. Our customers with GLP certification and AAALAC accreditation have been auditing us regularly.
