Laboratory Coding
Laboratory Coding assigns a one to five letter moniker to newly developed animal strains used for research. The lab code (also called laboratory code or laboratory registry code) identifies the institute, laboratory, or investigator that developed the model. The Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) tracks and maintains the Laboratory Code Registry.
