FOR CHRISTMAS, HERORATS FOR EVERYONE!

We do not just want to create added value for our partners and our company.
It is our belief that success also brings with it a social obligation.
That's why we have deceided to support APOPO.
For many years, this non-profit Belgian organisation has developed methods for the use of trained giant hamster rats in the search for landmines and for the detection of tuberculosis.

HeroRats as "Mine Locators"
Used in Mozambique and many other African countries, HeroRats are superior to metal detectors and sniffer-dogs when searching for landmines.

HeroRats as "TB Detectors"
In the lab, HeroRats can use their noses to test as many samples for tuberculosis in just a few minutes as a laboratory technician can in one day.
