About CRP

Covance Research Products is an industry leader providing purpose-bred research animals and related services to the biomedical research community. CRP also provides antibody products and services, transgenic colony management services, and performs Innovative Surgery and Investigative Services medical device studies.

For over thirty years CRP has been dedicated to continually expanding its products and services to help advance your research. CRP was the first to establish a pedigreed commercial rabbit colony, to successfully establish a Caesarean-derived rabbit colony, to introduce a purpose-bred Mini-Mongrel, and the first to commercially provide timed-mated rabbits for teratology studies.

From a one-facility location in Cumberland, VA in 1967, CRP has grown to include 5 locations housing rabbits, guinea pigs, canines, and nonhuman primates. With the acquisition of the Berkeley Antibody Company (BAbCO) in November of 1998 and Signet Laboratories in June of 2006, CRP greatly strengthened its position as a major provider of antibody products and services.

Offering programs and facilities that are AAALAC-accredited, ISO 9001:2000 registered, OLAW-assured, and USDA research registered, our strategy is to focus on providing outstanding drug development products and services.
