“We are very happy with this mouse line and we're not done yet. There's still plenty to do. The versatility of the F.A.S.T.™ approach is really unparalleled. There are so many possibilities to use the cassette that one paper does not showcase it all. Also, the addition of N-terminal GFP has helped quite a bit to understand gene expression patterns.”

“ingenious Targeting Laboratory is highly recommended for generating custom animal models. Past 2 years, we have made 2 conditional knockout mouse lines. All processes of each project were scientifically and professionally handled. Their scientific consulting to initiate the project was superb compared to other companies, and transparency of the project progress reported by project managers was excellent. Their excellency and dedication to meet our needs in a timely manner are invaluable to continuation of our research progress.”

“We are actively engaged in the production of a number of conditional mouse models with iTL. This collaboration has been simple on my end, just providing the gene accession numbers of each gene, and iTL recommending the strategies for each gene. The full range of mouse knockout services matches my needs well. I find iTL's service uniquely useful for my situation of needing different models for my research in a quick and efficient manner.”
— Mehboob Hussain, MD
University of Michigan Health
“I've been working with iTL over the past 5 years in the production of 3 different genetically altered mice. Not only did iTL help in the design of the mice, but the entire process was transparent with the opportunity at any time along the way to discuss my questions or concerns with scientists who had significant insight into the process. The mice were delivered on time, as billed!”

“iTL has generated a conditional knockout mouse as well as a knockin mouse for my laboratory. As a repeat customer I am obviously happy with their gene targeting services. iTL has consistently proven to be very flexible and easy to work with. This was especially apparent when we phenotyped mice at iTL's animal facilities as their personnel helped us with lab work until 4 am in the morning. Highly recommended!”

“I am very happy with iTL's mouse knockout services. It was pleasant to collaborate with my project manager. She was very thorough and communicative, an excellent combination. I will certainly use iTL again when needed, and I'm happy to share my positive experience with colleagues.”
— John Creemers, PhD
University of Leuven, Belgium
“The project was very well managed…in fact, using iTL validated my decision to not try and do this in my own lab. It would have been a catastrophe… (My project manager) was very helpful, always getting back to us in time and explaining every step of the project. I would be glad to serve as a reference for iTL and its staff.”

“iTL generated our angiotensin II type 1a receptor conditional mouse. We found this company very responsive. The project started with discussions on possible construct designs. Following approval, a project manager sent monthly reports alerting us to project milestones. Our experience with iTL was so positive that we have generated more conditional mice with them.”
— Debra Rateri, BS
University of Kentucky
“iTL produced four conditional knockout mouse models on our behalf. They have been extremely helpful and informative at all stages of the project; all the way from construct design to breeding strategies and genotyping the new mouse models. I know where to turn when the needs comes up again for another mouse project; it is certainly faster and cheaper than doing this by ourselves.”
— William A. Coetzee, DSc

“iTL has generated three knockout and conditional KO mice for my lab. One of them is now published and we would like to thank iTL for the very nice service.”
— Kai Ge, PhD
NIDDK, National Institutes of Health
“iTL generated a conventional knockout mouse for my lab. The entire process was smooth and the quality of service provided by the iTL team and our project manager was exceptional. Several other researchers in my Center are creating mice with iTL and all of us have been extremely satisfied. I strongly recommend iTL for generation of your next mouse model!!!”

“We recently generated a conditional knockout mouse model using iTL (inGenious Targeting Laboratory). We chose iTL based on time, cost, recommendation and location. We were pleased with the technical help we received in identifying the scope of the project. As well, information and services provided by the project manager were timely and extremely helpful and we were very impressed with the customer service. We were promptly updated throughout the project and upon completion, information was provided to help with genotyping and continuation of the project. We are very happy with the prompt services provided by iTL and would happily recommend them to our colleagues.”

“Our experience with ingenious is a long one with several knock-in models engineered in the last seven years. Everytime the entire process was efficiently and successfully achieved even when challenged by unexpected difficulties. We are fully satisfied with their services and we would like to underline the quality of the ingenious professionals with a very special mention for project managers. We enthusiastically recommend iTL and we will request their services in the future. No doubts about it.”

“iTL recently produced a new knockout model for us from a KOMP targeting vector (knockout first, conditional potential). The entire process was extremely efficient and the staff at iTL were both knowledgeable and helpful. We chose iTL because of their cost-effective service and their guarantee of germline transmission when using a KOMP targeting vector. Now that the project is complete, I would definitely use their services again in the future and would recommend them highly to anyone looking to create a new mouse model.”
