AC Drives Meet Unique Challenges for Mice — and Men
The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME), an internationally recognized research center and leading provider of genetically defined laboratory mice, presents unique challenges in designing environmental control systems. Each year, the laboratory distributes nearly two million laboratory mice to universities, medical schools, and research laboratories throughout the world.
Twelve thousand research institutions in 56 countries depend on the laboratory to provide more than 2,400 varieties of genetically pure mice. Founded in 1929, the nonprofit organization occupies nearly 50 buildings in a campus-like atmosphere and employs more than 1,000 people.
