Ordering Animals

All animals for use in Biomedical Facilities must be ordered through LAS

Animals may only be ordered through LAS under an approved IACUC Protocol.

The deadline for placing orders with the LAS Fiscal office is Monday, two weeks prior to the expected delivery date. We will try to accomodate orders placed after this deadline if time permits, but due to vendor set deadlines and availability, desired delivery date may not be possible for late orders. Please also view our policy on scheduling animal deliveries for holiday weeks.

All animal order forms must be submitted with a UH Interdepartmental Order (IDO). Animal orders recived without an IDO will not be processed. Please contact the LAS office if you need pricing information.

Please fill out the LAS Animal Order Request Form completly, signed by the PI who's name appears on the protocol, and fax to 956-8528 by the ordering deadline. Please be as thorough as possible when filling out the form, and when approprate, please include the vendor stock numbers for the strains you are requesting. Incomplete forms will be faxed back to the PI, and may delay order.

An admistrative charge will be added to all orders placed through LAS. If you need information on pricing, please refer to the LAS rates and LAS Cost Estimate section.
