genotyping


 
 

Charles River offers a full range of genotyping solutions for rodents and other model organisms, including zebrafish. While determining the genotypes of knockouts and other mutant models lays the groundwork for experiments, performing this routine task may divert personnel and materials away from the most critical steps of your research. Our full service genetic testing laboratory can perform this genotyping for you, allowing you to focus more resources on your experiments.

We feature completely customizable PCR genotyping to suit each individual project. Our scientists will develop or optimize a custom PCR genotyping assay for your model. You will receive a report with a scan of results and the protocol for your assay so you may perform it in your own lab or share it with a collaborator if you choose. We keep your assay and associated primers on file indefinitely, so you can send samples whenever you want. If you do not require a customized assay, we also have a variety of pre-validated assays for common mutations, models, and genetic elements. We can also develop and perform SNP assays for the genotyping of point mutations using fluorescence-based TaqMan® technology.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Sample submission and results format are completely customized for each researcher. Animals may be housed at Charles River through our Genetically Engineered Models and Services group or in your own animal facility. We accept a variety of hard and soft tissues, blood, cell cultures, and purified DNA. Sample collection kits are available to facilitate shipping. Results are reported within two weeks directly to you via e-mail in the file format of your choice, or are available on our web-based ILIMS system. Our scientists are always available to discuss your assays, results, and project goals in detail.
