Cryopreservation
Embryo freezing protects against the loss of valuable, unique mouse lines through breeding failure or disease while also eliminating the cost of maintaining mouse lines not actively in use. The process enables the collection and freezing of fertilized mouse eggs. Each package includes the cryopreservation of approximately 200 embryos. Heterozygous males are mated with wild type females as embryo donors.
Some of the benefits you receive when you choose cryopreservation services include
- Prevention of potential loss of phenotype
- Security of protecting your valuable and unique mouse lines
- Continuation of project avoiding live animal importation requirements
