Synergy Bio scientists discuss with researchers from all over the world every day to produce custom diets for different lab animal experiments. Due to the excessive number of formulas, we can not list all the formulas on the website. If you have checked all the standard diets on our website and found that these diets still do not meet your requirements, please consult us immediately.
 

Custom diets is generally suitable for the following conditions:

(1) Adjust the standard diet formulas according to research objective.
(2) Unusual species or strains of laboratory animals.
(3) Drugs or compounds need to be added to the diets.
(4) Product with different form, such as pellet and paste.

Customization process

According to different conditions, the customization process is also different. One is that customer have demonstrated the formula and need to produce; the other is that customer have no formula or cannot determine the rationality of the formula.

If you already have a formula

(1) Customer provide the formula and related information, including the objective of the research and the use of laboratory animals.
(2) We review the rationality of the formula and give feedback.
(3) After the formulation was determined, we started to organize the production and delivered it to the customer after completion.

If you don't have a definite formula

(1) Customer provide relevant information, including but not limited to the strain of the laboratory animal, the objective of the research.
(2) We design the formula according to the effective information, and refer to relevant literatures when necessary to understand whether there are similar formulas in the theses published in the world.
(3) We explain the formula in detail and exchang opinions with customer.
(4) After the formulation was determined, we started to organize the production and delivered it to the customer after completion.

Notes

The process of laboratory animal diet customization is not simple, which involves formula design, procurement of special raw materials, production. Therefore, please pay attention to the following before product customization:

(1) Carefully check the information of standard diets produced by Synergy Bio to determine whether the required diet type is in the product list.
(2) To confirm the amount of custom diets, we should consider the number of animals and the shelf life of diets.
(3) If you can tell the status of the animal grouping, our scientists will help you find problems and provide suggestions.
(4) Due to no preservatives, the shelf life of laboratory animal diet is usually short. Therefore, attention should be paid to the control of storage temperature, otherwise it should be used as soon as possible.

The research and development of laboratory animal diets involves multi-disciplinary knowledge, such as nutrition and animal medicine. We are pleased to provide you with technical support based on scientific literature. Once the formula is confirmed, we promise to complete the production and delivery within 10-12 working days.
