Reanimation

We offer cryorecovery services for frozen stock preserved by us or an outside source. Transportation of cryopreserved material is often less costly than live animal shipment and relieves the animal welfare concerns associated with shipping live animals.

​It offers a number of benefits, including:
  • saving time and money by importing cryopreserved sperm or embryos instead of live mice; and
  • receiving vendor quality mice so there is no need for quarantine.​

We use cryopreserved sperm to perform an IVF using female donors (e.g., C57BL/6). The resulting embryos are transferred to pseudopregnant female.
