Sperm Cryopreservation Services

Introduction

Harvesting and freezing sperm from 2 males per strain
Thawing one straw of sperm and performing IVF to demonstrate the ability to produce fertilized embryos
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.
