At Animal Care Systems we believe that animals used in research must be treated ethically and humanely at all times. It is our mission to provide the best possible housing environment for mice working to cure cancer, AIDS, MS, Parkinsons and other tragic human conditions. We have patented a new type of housing system that significantly improves the health and comfort for mice and their professional custodians, while reducing energy required to bring clean air to the mice. We are working diligently to make this available to all mice used in breeding and research.

"The better the mice environment, the better they are. The more isolated and contained the mice are, the more protection they have. The less we touch the mice, the less risk that we compromise their health," states Dr. Germain Rivard, ACS founder.

The M.I.C.E.® closed-system housing system is a completely new concept and housing system design. This initial breakthrough into laboratory animal housing with a technically superior product was the genesis of ACS. Armed with the knowledge that institutional customers had few alternatives for taking full advantage of the higher performance and cost savings inherent in closed-system housing, ACS developed an alternative - M.I.C.E.®. All the needs of end-users were addressed through validation by computer modeling, anemometry, wind tunnel, and smoke tests as well as comprehensive animal studies. ACS is the only manufacturing company run by a scientist and user of animal caging/housing equipment. We are uniquely qualified to understand the needs of the life science community.
