Disaster Preparedness: Choices and Elements To Consider When Selecting Lines to Cryopreserve


About the White Paper:

Catastrophic loss is a very real possibility when working with genetically engineered animal models. Millions of dollars and years of work can be lost through accident, error, or natural disaster, forcing you to recreate entire research programs from scratch.

Having worked with researchers in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, our colony management scientists developed streamlined methods of "backing up" and rapidly restoring cohorts of genetically modified animal models through cryopreservation. These methods insure against catastrophic loss scenarios and dramatically reduce the cost of colony management.

Read this white paper to learn:

  • How cryopreservation protects you from both natural and man-made disasters
  • Why cryopreservation makes colony management more cost-effective
  • Which genetically modified lines are most important to cryopreserve
