ETISENSE (Lyon) and the EUROPEAN RESEARCH BIOLOGY CENTER (ERBC Group) announce a collaboration to develop and validate the DECRO telemetry solution for marmosets, a new world primate with several advantages in non-clinical studies.
The collaboration between ETISENSE and ERBC Group aims to develop and validate the DECRO telemetry solution on a new species: the marmosets, which are considered today as an easy to handle and economically attractive non-human primates (NHP) species for biomedical research.
DECRO is the brand name of ETISENSE’s 1st product, developed originally for rats. It is a fully digital jacketed external telemetry solution adapted for small to medium sized animals, used in conscious, freely moving, and socialized animals to optimally address the 3Rs requirements. DECRO provides cardiac and respiratory physiological measurements and locomotor activity assessment required in safety-pharmacology, pre-IND toxicology studies of new drug candidates or in pathological research models, without using invasive or restraining techniques on the animals.
