BioDoc - Biomedical Diagnostics

Biomedical Diagnostics – BioDoc – is an independent accredited laboratory under the direction of Dr. Wiebke Köhl. The laboratory was established in 1993 and is located in the Medical Park Hannover (Germany).

BioDoc performs serological and molecular biological tests for diagnosis of viral, bacterial and parasitic infections in small laboratory animals (mouse, rat, hamster, guinea pig and rabbit). In addition, we provide advisory service with regard to diagnosis and eradication of such infections.

Our clients are mainly institutions which conduct animal experiments (pharmaceutical industry, universities, research organisations) and laboratory animal breeding companies in Germany and other European countries.

The purpose of our investigations is to ensure that laboratory animal colonies are free of infectious agents that are hazardous for the health of humans (zoonoses) and animals or that may interfere with animal experiments.

The test reports issued by BioDoc help our clients:

• to determine the health status of their animals and to generate animal health monitoring reports
• to present health status information in scientific reports and publications as part of the animal specification
• to obtain regulatory approval for drugs.
