JAX has extensive experience collecting and cryopreserving large numbers of mouse germoplasm, as well as proven experience cryorecovering a diverse set of mouse research strains. We successfully cryorecover over 2,500 strains from mouse sperm and embryo annually for researchers around the world.

Price-Per-Mouse

  • Eligible strains will feature a Price-Per-Mouse identifier button in the order box of their strain data sheet.
Price-Per-Mouse

  • Cryorecoveries offered under the Price-Per-Mouse program can be scaled to provide a desired number of carriers instead of JAX's historical minimum of two mice.
  • A minimum of two mice must be ordered. Additional mice will be charged on a per-mouse basis.

Sperm Cryorecovery Service

If you used our Sperm Cryopreservation Service or our Sperm Cryo Kit to cryopreserve your strains, we can produce live mice for you in as little as nine weeks.*

Key benefits

  • Recovery is completed within nine to 12 weeks
  • Standard recovery yields an average of 10 or more pups
  • All mice produced are specified and opportunistic pathogen free shipped with a comprehensive health report

Capabilities

  • JAX protocols developed and used by The Jackson Laboratory scientists, who are pioneers in cryopreservation and cryorecovery technology
  • Larger cohorts can be economically produced from strains with high fertilization rates through our Speed Expansion Service
  • Production of cryopreserved embryos from cryopreserved sperm

* If you need to have cryopreserved mouse sperm recovered that was not frozen by JAX or our Sperm Cryo Kit, please contact us and we will evaluate it for feasibility and cost.
