Genetically Modified Model Breeding by Shanghai Model Organisms
Shanghai Model Organisms offers bespoke breeding services for both custom and client-owned genetically modified animal models. Our commitment is to deliver precise, genotype-specific model organisms within a defined timeframe, utilizing both conventional and assisted reproductive technologies.
Breeding Service Options
Natural Breeding Service: This traditional breeding approach leverages the natural mating processes under standard growth conditions and sexual cycles to produce genotype-specific offspring within a predetermined period. It is a cost-effective solution for generating models without the need for advanced technological interventions.
Rapid Breeding Service: Accelerate your research with our Rapid Breeding Service, which utilizes in vitro fertilization (IVF) to produce a large cohort of age-synchronized mice swiftly. With as few as two male mice, our service can yield up to 50 offspring in approximately 1.5 months, significantly reducing the time typically required for breeding.
Rederivation Service: Protect the integrity of your research with our rederivation services. If the health status of your mice is affecting your studies, our rederivation process can re-establish your strain to a specified pathogen-free health status. This ensures the reliability of your experimental results and extends the lifespan and reproductive viability of your mice.
Technology-Driven Genotype Assurance
At Shanghai Model Organisms, we provide rapid and precise genotype identification services that complement our breeding services. Our state-of-the-art technologies, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Real-time PCR, High-Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis, and PCR-based sequencing, ensure that the delivered models meet the highest standards of genetic fidelity.
Efficiency and Quality in Model Delivery
Whether you require a single genotype-specific model or a batch, our model breeding programs are designed to overcome the technical and financial hurdles associated with genotype identification, breeding cycles, animal quality, and operational management. By optimizing these parameters, we enhance the efficiency of your research endeavors.
Our commitment to excellence and innovation in breeding services ensures that your research progresses seamlessly, supported by healthy, genetically accurate, and quality-controlled animal models.
