Laboratory animals must be of the highest quality, free of infectious pathogens. Adventitious pathogens can dramatically alter laboratory animals as models for research.

Transferring preimplantation embryos from a "dirty" animal to a "clean" recipient can eliminate nearly all pathogens. The RADIL provides embryo transfer services developed to assist researchers in rederiving rodents to a pathogen-free state.
