  4. Cryopreservation & Breeding

Cyagen Cryopreservation offers fast and reliable methods for archiving embryos and sperm.
Cryoperservation of embryos and/or sperm is an ideal solution to maintain a live animal colony for strains that are rarely used. This backup can save significant space and prevent loss due to disease or in case an issue arises within your animal facility, providing an alternative to manage the colonies that will be used for research. Cyagen can back up your live animal colony by our embryo and sperm cryopreservation services, which can not only protect your valuable strains but also reduce your cost in the long run. We also can produce live animals for you in eight to twelve weeks once your cryopreserved stock is preserved at Cyagen.
