Diet-Induced Mice

Taconic Biosciences offers two diet-conditioned models for metabolic disease research. Taconic is the first and only vendor to offer off-the-shelf availability for a diet-induced MASH mouse model. Off-the-shelf availability permits researchers to start studies immediately, saving months of conditioning time, and preserving vivarium space for active studies rather than conditioning cohorts.

Taconic also offers custom diet conditioning for any commercial or customer-provided strain as part of its Colony Management Solutions portfolio.
