This request is used for the procurement of any lab animals. Specialized approvals may be required upon submission.
Note: Lab animal requests must be submitted separately from other Marketplace items. You cannot mix this request with other items in your cart.
Lab animals that are shipping directly to the VA or Roswell Park should be put through as a Non-Catalog Item or on a Standing Order form, not on a Lab Animal Request form.
Requisitions to pay for animal care from the VA and Roswell Park should be put through on a Standing Order form, not on a Lab Animal Request form.
