2025 in Review: Advancing Vivarium Care Through Partnership, Innovation, and Real-World Support

As we wrap up 2025, all of us at Contec Lab Animal are reflecting on what truly matters: supporting the incredible teams who care for research animals every day. This year, we deepened our commitment to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners in the field—helping you meet regulatory demands, maintain cleaner environments, and make your daily work just a bit easier. 

Here’s a look back at some key highlights that made 2025 a standout year for side-by-side support. 

A Game-Changer: Our Exclusive Partnership with Virox and Peroxigard 

In 2025, we became the exclusive supplier of Peroxigard disinfectants through a new partnership with Virox Technologies. This means you now have reliable access to a trusted, accelerated hydrogen peroxide solution that’s specifically designed for animal research environments. Whether you’re focused on broad-spectrum efficacy, animal safety, or simplified protocols, Peroxigard delivers—and we’re here to support you in using it effectively across your facility.

Making Meaningful Improvements: Our Process Improvement Program 

We know that great outcomes start with strong processes. That’s why we introduced our Process Improvement Brochure and support program this year—a practical tool to help your team assess workflows, close gaps, and make sustainable changes. It’s more than a document; it’s a conversation starter. From SOP development to staff training and tool selection, we’re here to help you take a fresh look at your cleaning routines and build a stronger foundation for animal care.

Cleanovators Webinar: Real-World Solutions from the Field 

Cleaning a vivarium isn’t one-size-fits-all. This year, we brought together Dr. Keri Lestage and Robert Deck for a Cleanovators Professional webinar that tackled the real-world challenges you face daily—from tough surfaces and stubborn biofilms to training turnover and compliance headaches. 

They shared strategies for choosing effective disinfectants, like Peroxigard, and highlighted how the right tools can simplify workflows, boost safety, and reduce labor. They also introduced our Facility Assessment Program, which provides personal recommendations for SOP updates, staff education, and process refinement. If you're managing rodents, large animals, or primates, the insights from this session are practical and ready to use. (Missed it? Let us know—we’d love to share the recording.)

As we look forward to 2026, we remain grounded in our mission: to support you. Whether that means walking your floors, training your teams, or helping you fine-tune protocols, our commitment is real and ongoing. Together, we’ll continue to raise the bar for cleanliness, compliance, and care. 

Here’s to another year of side-by-side success.
