“Essential” retractable access card holders |

These tools are needed in most animal facilities to keep access cards,

clip that attaches to your clothing, a 29” retractable cord, and a standard ½”
vinyl snap strap to securely hold the access card. To ensure the safety of your
facility should the holder become lost, they have no reference to animals or to
AALAS, but rather display an important message for lab animal technicians. These
make great gifts for everyone on staff! (color: black)

“Quality Animal Care Equals Quality Science” note cards |
 |
Each card in this set of four contains a colorful
image of a common laboratory animal (mouse, rabbit, pig, and dog), positive
messages about the benefits of animal research to society, and medical
breakthroughs specific to each of the animal species. The back of each card
provides information on how the “quality care” lab animal technicians provide
for their animals produces “quality science” that benefits all of us and how
AALAS recognizes techs for their essential contributions to the overall research
process with an annual dedication, Tech Week. The cards, which are appropriate
for any occasion such as birthdays, thank-yous, and get well greetings, are the
perfect way to educate the public about the use of animals in biomedical
research. The 3-7/8” x 5” note cards are blank inside for personal
customization, come with envelopes, and are bound as a set. Perfect for framing,
too! Proceeds go to the AALAS Foundation!
