LAMPIRE Origin Story

How A Wrong Turn Changed the Life Science Industry Forever

In 1977, Gregory F. Krug, then a student at Delaware Valley College, was searching for a summer job and, by chance, turned right instead of left—leading him to a horse farm. There, he met Craig Tarler, a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for science and innovation. That fortuitous encounter sparked a partnership that laid the foundation for LAMPIRE Biological Laboratories, Inc. From these humble beginnings, LAMPIRE has grown into a leading life science organization, dedicated to advancing research and providing high-quality biological products to the scientific community.

Today, LAMPIRE operates six locations across Pennsylvania—including Bedford County, Lehigh Valley, and Bucks County—with over 200 staff members and more than 7,000 animals across its campuses. With decades of expertise and a commitment to excellence, LAMPIRE continues to be a premier resource for researchers worldwide.

ANIMAL CARE

Animal Husbandry — Our Top Priority

At LAMPIRE Biological Laboratories, exceptional animal care is the foundation of our mission. Our staff adheres to the highest standards of husbandry, ensuring that each animal receives proper nutrition through a carefully regulated diet and is observed twice daily for overall health and well-being. Animals are housed in clean, secure environments protected from outdoor elements, with controlled light/dark cycles and clear visibility to support early identification of any health concerns. Our dedicated animal care teams and on-staff veterinarians work together to maintain the health, comfort, and safety of every animal in our care. All facilities undergo rigorous inspection, both internally through our Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and externally by the USDA and AAALAC, ensuring compliance with all applicable animal welfare regulations and guidelines.

ANIMAL CARE

Animal Enrichment Program

For more than 47 years, LAMPIRE has actively fostered a culture of continuous improvement in animal well-being. We encourage our staff to develop new enrichment strategies that enhance the daily lives of our animals and support their natural behaviors. Our enrichment programs are tailored to each species and may include nutritional enhancements, foraging and nesting opportunities, and chewing or gnawing aids designed to promote physical and psychological stimulation.

We firmly believe that exceptional animal care leads to exceptional products. Our commitment to providing safe, enriched, and humane living environments reflects our dedication to ethical practices and high-quality scientific outcomes.
