Harlan Teklad is a global company specializing in the production and distribution of diets and bedding products for laboratory animals. With operations in both the United States and Europe, we are able to answer the challenge of an increasingly demanding global research community.

Innovation

We have manufactured laboratory diets to meet the needs of biomedical researchers for many decades. As pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as contract services companies expanded beyond their traditional borders and became multinational entities, Harlan Teklad recognized the need for global access to diet on a worldwide scale. To meet this challenge, we developed Harlan Teklad Global Diets®.

With these diets you can achieve global standardization in your feeding regimes without sacrificing the security of local manufacturing and controlled distribution. This means using diets made with the same formulas from ingredients purchased under the same specifications in the United States and Europe. Harlan Teklad Global Diets® deliver unique nutritional consistency to your national and multinational research programs.

Quality Assurance

Thanks to extensive in-house and strict quality control procedures, our diets meet the highest nutritional and hygiene standards. All diets are manufactured using fixed formulas ensuring there are no changes in the amounts of the ingredients in a diet over time. We take great care in choosing our raw material suppliers. Only ingredients that are tested and proven to meet our specifications are allowed entry into our diet manufacturing facilities. This ensures minimum variability in our diets from one production to the next.

For our bedding products we use only the highest quality sources. To further ensure quality all bedding products are tested at least quarterly for the presence of contaminants.

The Harlan Advantage

We are the exclusive provider of diet to the animal production operations of our sister breeding companies throughout the world. Our diets are thus subjected to the highest form of quality assurance, feeding millions of animals worldwide, every day. Moreover, by purchasing both animals and diet from Harlan you can minimize acclimation by feeding that same diet at your facility as was fed at the barrier.

Our expert technical staff consists of three nutritionists in the United States and two in Europe. Our nutritionists collaborate with veterinarians, animal technicians, geneticists, and other technologists within Harlan to provide an unparalleled level of technical support to our customers.
