OUR STORY
On October 1, 2018, Jill Arnold and Brent Whitaker launched ZooQuatic Laboratory LLC, a Clinical Pathology and Water Quality laboratory, though ZooQuatic is truly an old lab with a new name. In 1991, Jill, a certified medical technologist, and Brent, an exotic/aquatic animal veterinarian, created a laboratory at the National Aquarium in Baltimore to support the care of the Aquarium's fish, reptiles, birds, amphibians, invertebrates, and mammals. In 2000, the laboratory relocated next door to the University of Maryland’s Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) which allowed for additional collaborations with world-renowned scientists in the development of new and innovative technologies and techniques. Though now a private commercial enterprise, ZooQuatic Laboratory continues to support the National Aquarium and IMET’s Aquaculture Research Center while also offering our services to zoos, aquariums, universities, researchers, aquaculture facilities and others in need of accurate and affordable water quality and clinical pathology testing, as well as anatomic pathology services for vertebrates and invertebrates.
