What are needed for embryo cryopreservation?
Embryos for cryopreservation are derived by IVF, and both male and female mice are needed. Usually the male mice used are mutant, and the females can be mutant or wild type of the appropriate background strain. If mice need to be purchased from a vendor, additional charge will apply. Embryos are generally cryopreserved at 2-cell stage. One IVF session for embryo cryo service can accommodate up to two IVF procedures using total 40 females.
