Embryo & Sperm Cryopreservation and Revival Services

Introduction

Our embryo cryopreservation service includes:
Superovulation or hyperovulating and mating embryo donors
Harvesting fertilized embryos from donors
Freezing embryos
Thawing some embryos and implanting them into foster moms to demonstrate recovery of live mice, if enough embryos are available
Long-term storage in liquid nitrogen

Summary

The cryopreservation of mouse strains serves two main functions:
When mouse strains are not immediately needed for experimental purposes, but may be needed at a later date and cannot be readily obtained from vendors, it may be more economical to store the strain as frozen embryos or sperm, rather than maintaining a live colony.
Mouse strains that are difficult to replace should be cryopreserved to allow reconstitution in the event of a pathogen outbreak, natural disaster, or other occurrence that may result in the loss of all existing breeding stock.

CD Genomics has already updated its technology platforms to mainstream NGS, long-read sequencing, and microarray instruments. We continue to strive to offer the same reliable services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academia and government agencies, for all your sequencing or array needs.
