- Eliminates maintenance of colonies to sustain available
research models
- Reallocates production space and associated resources to other
areas of research priority
- Preserves the genetic integrity of research models for future
colony development
- Provides insurance against physical, genetic, and pathologic
disasters
- Harvest of early stage embryos
- Number of embryos dependent upon client requirements
- Embryo storage in two geographically separate locations or
returned to the client
The number of
genetically altered lines developed and maintained for research in
animal facilities continually increases. Laboratories often develop
their own strains, genetically modified for specific purposes. The
high value of these strains often results in their continued
maintenance, even though they may not be utilized for long periods.
Such maintenance may produce excess animals, and is also
financially expensive.
