How Cryolab Can Help in Mice Cryopreservation

In biomedical research, mice are the gold standard for studying genetics, disease pathways, and drug development. Preserving their genetic material through cryopreservation is a fundamental practice in laboratories and research institutions across the globe. Whether for archiving genetically modified strains or shipping valuable lines internationally, reliable cryogenic systems are essential to maintain viability, consistency, and reproducibility in scientific work.

At Cryolab, we offer cutting-edge cryogenic storage and transport solutions to meet the exacting needs of mice cryopreservation. Our CryoNest® Series of LN₂ storage tanks and CryoStork® Series of dry shippers are engineered for precision, safety, and compliance – ensuring your samples remain protected from storage to shipment.

Mouse models are vital in exploring human diseases, testing pharmaceuticals, and understanding genetic mechanisms. Their genetic manipulation has enabled breakthroughs in cancer research, immunology, and neuroscience. However, maintaining large colonies of live mice is resource-intensive and often unnecessary when cryogenic preservation offers a more efficient solution. Cryopreservation of mouse sperm, embryos, and embryonic stem cells allows researchers to archive genetically modified or inbred lines without keeping live animals, preserve strains during facility renovations or disease outbreaks, transport materials to collaborators globally, and revive specific lines on-demand for new research initiatives. This makes cryopreservation an essential tool for biobanking, disaster recovery, and cost-effective breeding programs.

Cryolab provides high-performance cryogenic solutions tailored for research environments working with animal genetic material. Our CryoNest® LN₂ Storage Tanks offer ultra-stable environments essential for preserving mouse embryos and sperm over long durations. Vacuum-insulated and durable, they reduce nitrogen evaporation and maintain consistent cryogenic temperatures. Racked systems allow for thousands of cryovials to be stored efficiently, and optional safety features like temperature monitoring and pressure relief valves provide additional security. Available in XL, XXL, and XXXL models ranging from 95 to 175 litres, these tanks are engineered for low operational costs and minimal maintenance.

For the secure transport of frozen mouse strains, Cryolab’s CryoStork® Series offers unmatched portability and reliability. These vapour-phase dry shippers eliminate the risk of LN₂ spillage while ensuring cryogenic conditions are maintained throughout transit. Certified to UKCA, CE, and ISO standards, the CryoStork line is ideal for both domestic and international use. With rugged construction, a 3-year vacuum warranty, and optional data loggers for real-time temperature tracking, these dry shippers provide peace of mind. They are available in five models—V2, V3, V4, V6, and V10—accommodating different sample volumes and transport requirements.

Cryolab’s solutions are used by IVF centres, genetic labs, universities, and biopharma companies. For research facilities working with valuable mouse lines, our cryogenic systems offer peace of mind through reliable temperature control, operational efficiency with smart storage and transport features, compliance and safety backed by international certifications, and scalability to meet growing laboratory demands. Whether preserving critical genetic material or sending samples for collaboration, Cryolab is your trusted partner in secure, compliant cryogenic solutions.
