2. Resource Description

   Frozen stocks of mouse embryos and sperm are stored in the Transgenic Core large storage units. Often investigators opt to share their unique mouse lines with researchers at other institutions. This service fee covers the time and supplies needed to remove the appropriate samples from the storage unit, coordinate the shipment and transport the samples to the Shipping Core Facility. Importing frozen strains is a valuable resource utilized by investigators who need to use unique strains, that are not already housed in the CHOP facility. The external institution will ship the frozen sperm, or embryos, directly to the Transgenic Core. Upon receipt the Core will unpack and store the gametes for future use. The Core will also arrange return of the shipping container.
