Breeding
Our Breeding Services makes managing your mouse colonies easy and affordable. We'll make sure you get the mice you need, when you need them.
Genome Scanning
JAX-designed SNP panels are used to develop congenic lines in your lab, confirm strain identity, and monitor genetic quality.
Rederivation
Is the health status of your mice confounding your research results, impairing reproduction, or shortening their lifespans? We can help restore them to a specified and opportunistic pathogen-free health status to get your research back on track.
Speed Congenic
Using Speed Congenics, we can take your strain and produce genetically well-defined congenic mice of high health status in record time.
Speed Expansion
Need dozens or hundreds of age-matched mice fast? Speed expansion via IVF rapidly develops mouse colonies at a specified and opportunistic pathogen-free status.
Strain Rescue
We can rescue your endangered mice. Our team has rescued over 100 mouse strains from extinction due to breeding cessation or to health issues.

Cryopreservation
Protect your valuable strains from unfortunate events. JAX Cryopreservation offers fast and reliable methods for archiving embryos and sperm so you can feel assured about the safety of your strains.
Cryo Storage
Cryopreserved sperm and embryos can be easily damaged by improper storage conditions. As one of the first organizations to cryopreserve mouse embryos and sperm, The Jackson laboratory has decades of experience managing cryopreserved materials. Our secure facilities are equipped with monitored and alarmed tanks overseen by experienced staff, ensuring the future recoverability of your strains.
Disaster Planning
Disasters happen. Protect your strains from unforeseen circumstances with good planning and JAX Cryopreservation and Recovery Services.
Cryorecovery
JAX successfully cryorecovers over 2,500 strains/year and is capable of recovering private strains cryopreserved and stored at The Jackson Laboratory for reinitiation of projects or for collaborators.

Timed-Pregnant Mice
Aging
Some diseases, such as Alzheimer's and cancer, develop later in life— both in humans and mice. We will age and deliver mice to you when they reach an age appropriate for your research.
Diet-Induced Obesity
Diets high in fat have been attributed to a host of diseases, including obesity, metabolic and inflammatory diseases. The Jackson Laboratory maintains an inventory of diet-induced obesity (DIO) models, and can place any strain on any fully customized diet so that your mice are ready when you need them.
Surgical
Our expert surgeons are specially trained to perform surgeries on mice, using aseptic and atraumatic techniques that prevent operative complications permitting a smoother surgical recovery. All surgeries are performed in a laminar flow hood within HEPA-filtered, positive pressure suites to deliver surgically modified mice that are tailored for your specific research needs.
Timed-Pregnant Mice
Eliminate the need for stud males and/or colony maintenance using JAX Timed-Pregnant Females. By capitalizing on our expertise on mouse reproduction and husbandry, your experiments are one step closer to completion.
