Certifications and operational permits

Since 2012, the entire organization of Capra Science Antibodies, is quality certified according to the latest version of International Organization of Standardization, refered as ISO 9001:2015. Bureau Veritas is our accredited certifier. Being certified means that all units responible for the animals, production, management, staff and economy, has standard operating procedures and that every divergency is systematically registered for improvement. This is how we hold our high quality standard.

Our antibody production also holds many permits issued by the Swedish Agricultural Agency. Our permits include ethical approval, permits to use and breed animals for antibody production, as well as, approvals of each and every animal facility on our two farms, including grazing areas.

Our farmland is also organically certified. HS-Certifiering AB is our accredited certifier for our crops and animals.

Ethical policy

One of Capra Science main missions is to develop environments for the animals that promote good health and alert immune systems.  With our extensive experience in animal behavior, we strive to continuously evolve our animal care in positive directions. Capra Science aims at setting a new animal care standard and contribute globally to an improved animal welfare within the antibody industry.

At our farm, the Three Rs (reduce, refine, replace) is always applied. Regrettably, to maintain a modern health care, every animal cannot be replaced at present. However, our continuous efforts in advancing laboratory methods towards engineered antibodies will keep on reducing the number of animals.
