Expansion Breeding Now Part of the Charles River Cryopreservation Package
January 7, 2010 – At Charles River, we realize that procuring and developing a homozygous strain for your research can require a substantial investment. While cryopreserving your model to ensure reliable live-animal recovery is the best way to protect your investment and safeguard your animals from unexpected occurrences, we understand that sometimes you simply do not have enough animals to be able to cryopreserve your strain. In an effort to provide a convenient, integrated cryopreservation/expansion breeding solution, we have incorporated expansion breeding into our cryopreservation package.
With only two homozygous breeding pairs required, we can breed your animals with our stock to produce a sufficient population for the cryopreservation of 200-250 embryos. One of our dedicated project managers will work with you every step of the way, from answering questions to managing all of the breeding and shipping logistics of your project. In one convenient package, this unique option simplifies the entire process of cryopreserving your homozygous strain with a limited number of models.
With decades of experience of cryopreserving thousands of genetically unique experimental models, we can work with you to protect your homozygous strain in the most efficient and streamlined way possible.
