Mouse Embryo Cyropreservation Services

Introduction

Like sperm cryopreservation, embryo cryopreservation is utilized to preserve your mouse lines. This can reduce expenditures and animal usage for a strain that is not currently needed or to prevent genetic drift in lines that are actively being bred. This is a good alternative to sperm cryopreservation when your strain has multiple independent transgenes or mutations. For this procedure, we request 10 females (3-8 weeks of age) and 10 males (over 8 weeks of age). This would provide approximately 200 embryos for cryopreservation however only a portion of these will be viable after thawing.
