Netherlands Cancer Institute Case Study

by Marco Breuer
Head Lab of Animal Facilities

The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) was established in 1913 and is the only dedicated cancer center in The Netherlands combining a nationwide Cancer Clinic and Cancer Research Institute.

For nearly a decade NKI faced issues with outdated equipment and procedure rooms in an animal facility that was over 30 years old. It was because of these issues NKI set out to build a new stand-alone animal facility intended to facilitate their research questions, as well as fulfill their need for a high microbiological standard.

Read how NKI noticed a considerable difference between disposable and washable cages after implementing the Innovive IVC system and 22,000 disposable cages. From a qualitative perspective they could actually see the results, which was very important for their high-end research.
