CRYORECOVERY SERVICES
Cryorecovery
JAX successfully cryorecovers over 2,500 strains/year. Whether starting from
sperm or embryos, from our repository or from your private cryopreserved stock,
JAX can generate high health status pups to help you begin a new live colony.
∙ JAX can recover live mice from cryopreserved sperm or
embryos stored at JAX or another reputable repository.
∙ Cryorecovery timeline is typically 9-12 weeks. We typically
recover 8-10 mice. For strains cryopreserved at JAX, we
guarantee at least 2 carriers of the desired allele.
∙ Cryorecovered mice are generated at our highest health
status and mice are shipped with a comprehensive health
report.
Overview
∙ Study ready cohorts generated from cryopreserved sperm
or embryos for your research and drug discovery needs.
∙ JAX can scale any IVF mediated recovery to deliver large
number of mice directly into breeding or for your studies.
∙ Mice are cryorecovered into a high health status SOPF
barrier room and shipped with a full comprehensive
health report.
Features and Benefits
∙ Cryorecovery offers an efficient alternative when
acquiring a strain from a collaborator or an international
repository.
∙ Recovering frozen stocks for refreshing your colonies
allows you to minimize genetic drift without the delay of
breeding back to homozygosity.
Applications
Considerations
∙ Mice cryorecovered in non-preferred genotype will require
additional breeding to produce the preferred genotype(s).
∙ The number of males and females generated in a
cryorecovery is variable.
Related Services
∙ Speed expansion by IVF can generate large cohorts rapidly.
∙ JAX Breeding Services can maintain your cryorecovered
colony and provide study ready cohorts to meet your needs.
∙ Crossbreed Cryorecovered mice to thousands of available in-
house mouse strains.
