Sperm Cryopreservation

Discover sperm cryopreservation, a vital method for freezing and storing sperm to ensure future use in research and reproduction. Learn how the Mouse Biology Program supports mouse model preservation via sperm cryo.


Sperm cryopreservation is essential for long-term storage of mouse genetic material. It provides a cost-effective way to preserve valuable strains, manage colony sizes, and support disaster recovery plans. The Mouse Biology Program offers specialized sperm cryopreservation services to ensure your strains’ viability and genetic integrity for future use.

  • High-Efficiency Freezing:
    • We use advanced cryopreservation techniques to achieve high post-thaw motility and viability rates, ensuring that sperm samples remain genetically intact and ready for effective recovery through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • Pathogen-Free Processing:
    • All sperm samples are collected and frozen under strict pathogen-free conditions, minimizing the risk of contamination. This is especially beneficial when archiving lines for later use or transferring them between facilities.
  • Cost-Effective Colony Management:
    • Sperm cryopreservation significantly reduces colony maintenance costs by eliminating the need for large, live breeding colonies. It is ideal for archiving currently unnecessary strains but may be required in future studies.
  • Disaster Recovery Planning:
    • Sperm cryopreservation enables the safe storage of genetic material that can be rapidly revived in unexpected losses. As part of a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, it ensures the continuity of critical research projects.
  • Rapid Revival:
    • Our team provides efficient resuscitation of frozen sperm through IVF, quickly producing offspring from stored samples. This rapid recovery process ensures minimal delays in your research timelines.
