Standard Quarantine with Breeding and Sperm Cryopreservation

January 24, 2011 - Charles River is pleased to announce a new quarantine package that conveniently includes a sperm cryopreservation option to safeguard your line from catastrophe. Our quarantine services have been instrumental in protecting animal facilities worldwide from costly contaminations, and our cryopreservation program has safeguarded tens of thousands of research models from loss. This new package combines both of these important services together into a single package solution.

Upon arrival, your animals will be mated in a biosecure isolator to begin our standard quarantine protocol. At the conclusion of the quarantine period, two carrier males will be processed for sperm cryopreservation. In one step, you can quarantine your animals and archive your valuable line without wasting any unnecessary time dealing with extra paperwork or coordinating all the billing and shipping logistics that comes with cryopreserving your line down the road.

Our knowledgeable staff of dedicated project managers can guide you through the entire quarantine and cryopreservation process and answer any questions you may have. This unique package solution combines the necessary health screening required by your facility to prevent contaminations with the peace of mind knowing that your strain can always be recovered in the event of a future disaster.
