In close collaboration with the NKIs Animal Facility, we perform cryopreservation of mouse strains by freezing sperm or embryos to conserve new strains and strains not needed in the near future to reduce the amount of alive animals in stock. We can revitalize these (and other) strains when needed.
All our new mouse strains are generated in a Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) environment; strains coming from outside of the NKI can be sanitized to SPF status.
Please contact Leo Ennen (l.ennen@nki.nl) to learn more about cryopreservation, revitalization and sanitation at the NKI.
