THE DIETS

Whether your research field is obesity, fatty liver, diabetes or other topics, Research Diets can provide you with the best choice of purified diets. The commonly used DIO (diet induced obesity) diets are even stock items here at the Brogaarden warehouse in Denmark where they are kept at -20C to ensure safety of the diet and stability of the pellets.

 

 

PACKAGING & IRRADIATION

All diets are as standard delivered in boxes of 12.5 kg each with 5 heat sealed bags of 2.5 kg. A number custom packing options are available in different sizes with or without vacuum sealing.

Most diets can be delivered irradiated in single or double cycles. Please ask our friendly customer service to help you with the best solution.

WHY BROGAARDEN

Transferring the diets from the US to Europe is a delicate operation due to regulatory challenges and often the need of fast door-to-door delivery of diets that may be temperature sensitive due to high fat content.

At Brogaarden we have specialized in providing the logistical service for Research Diets all over Europe. We have worked together for 20 years, and where in the beginning we merely shipped on demand, today we stock a number of diets frozen in high volume at our warehouse in Denmark – often ready to ship in 24 hours.

Our 2 veterinarians in the LAS customer service group are happy to assist you with a quote for your diets, or simply ship our stock items fast and safely all over Europe. We are also happy to assist you in coordinating shipments of special components to be included in your diets, and in the communication with the experts at Research Diets in the States.

THE STORY

Research Diets Inc. is the story about a visionary man with a great idea: Edward A Ulman, Ph.D., who made his first purified laboratory diet in 1984 in his kitchen; a kitchen that you may say has grown significantly since then. Having spent many years in the research community, Ed saw a need for a reliable source for custom purified diets.

With more than 60 employees, whereas many hold degrees in nutrition and food science, Research Diets Inc. has today grown to become the largest purified diet company in the world.

Research Diets specializes in manufacturing custom purified diets for diet induced disease models. One such model is in the study of obesity and diabetes where the company developed the “Original” high-fat diets for lab animal research – the DIO line. This line from Research Diets Inc. is in its own right the “golden standard” among diets for obesity related research.

Over the years more than 30,000 custom formulations have been created for various areas of study.
