JAX Alliance Program for Transgenic Cores

The JAX Alliance Program for Transgenic Cores supports the important work performed by transgenic cores by providing our high quality Sperm Cryo Kit combined with educational, marketing and sales materials to encourage greater utilization of cryopreservation.

Cryopreservation is considered a best practice to reinforce the 3R's: Reduce, Replace and Refine. It also is a cornerstone of a disaster-aversion plan and a great way to help your institute lower costs by reducing colony management costs associated with seldom-used colonies.

This special program is designed specifically to assist transgenic cores in the United States coping with flat or shrinking budgets and greater demand for services. Participating cores report strong growth in utilization of cryopreservation services in their institution, very satisfied investigators, and overall efficiency savings.
