A key part of chimera creation is the consistent production of high-quality, injection-ready blastocysts. Our BlastoKit® is designed to provide a steady, reliable source of blastocysts, freeing your time to focus on your research. The BlastoKit® provides frozen morulae and technical recommendations to help maximize the efficiency of the product. Extensive testing has shown development rates of at least 70% for C57BL/6NCrl and at least 50% for BALB/cAnNCrl embryos and birth of up to 40% using C57BL/6NCrl.
