Important Information
All animal orders must be received by CLAS no later than 10:30 a.m. on
Thursday of the week BEFORE the animals are to be delivered. Orders
for long-lead-time animals must of course be placed early enough to
ensure delivery by the time you will need the animals. Please be sure
your protocol is current before placing your order; CLAS cannot
process orders for expired protocols. For information regarding
protocols, refer to the Environmental Health and Safety website at
http://ehs.ucdavis.edu/. For
animal vendor information, follow this link:
vendor websites
Orders for other CLAS services must be placed 24 hours in advance. Please keep in mind that University staff holidays may at times affect CLAS’ ability to receive animals or perform work. Check with the CLAS office staff at 752-1390 if you have any questions about holidays and their potential effects.
When your order is taken, CLAS will prepare an CLAS Work Order to confirm the order information. A goldenrod-colored copy of the Work Order will then be sent to the investigator through campus mail. If you find any errors on that copy, please immediately notify CLAS at
752-1390 so the order can be corrected.
*Normal business hours for CLAS administrative staff are 8:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
CLAS feeds monthly billing information into the UCD “DaFIS” accounting system. Per diems for animal housing are billed through the 22nd of the month. In general, animal orders received and invoiced by the vendor by the 15th of the month are billed that month; later deliveries are billed the following month. Work requests completed by the 25th are normally billed that month.
CLAS prepares monthly billing statements for each recharge number (4-character Billing ID or DaFIS account/subaccount/project) for which there were charges during the month. These statements list all charges to the recharge number, and are mailed to the bookkeeper in the department being charged (this is done so the department will have the required backup for charges to grants). If you need a copy of your bill, please contact your departmental bookkeeper. Our billing statements are not available from the website.
Note that charges for animal housing are on a “per diem” basis. Your bill will reflect the total number of animal-days for which you were charged. For example, if you have 10 rats being housed for a 30-day billing period, your bill will show charges for 300 animal-days.
If you have questions about your bill, please contact the following personnel:
· for the Center for Laboratory Anmial Science: Carol Wilkinson at 752-5103.
· for the Laboratory Animal Health Clinic: Susan Reiff at 752-2832.
· for the Comparative Pathology Laboratory: Susan Reiff at 752-2832.
