Biological Resource Unit

The Bio Resource Unit (BRU) contains two sub-units:

A barrier unit that is maintained as a high health / specific pathogen free (SPF) facility and is used for housing, breeding and the conduct of authorised scientific procedures. The animals catered for in this unit are mice and rats, which are housed in individually ventilated cages.

The second is a conventional unit which can house chickens, rabbits and mice.
