At The Jackson Laboratory, we recognize that the health and well-being of our mice directly affect the quality of your research. That’s why we’re committed to the safe, humane transport of JAX® Mice—delivering healthy, less-stressed animals to your facility. Our custom-designed shipping containers are rigorously tested for animal welfare, research practicality, and sustainability — setting the industry standard in laboratory mouse transport.
Our specially designed JAX shipping containers have been shown to keep mice (of the genus mus) healthy and secure while being shipped both within the United States and internationally. These containers are reusable, recyclable, and the gold standard for transporting mice.
We conduct extensive, year-round testing and assessments to ensure the well-being of JAX® Mice during transit. Our shipping containers are rigorously validated to protect the welfare and safety of the mice throughout shipment.



If you have questions about our new or previous shipping containers, our Customer Service team is happy to help. Customer service is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM ET.
