Rederivation

A key step in breeding and distributing models, in view of the health constraints applying to entry into an animal facility, the TAAM proposes its expertise in the field of murine model rederivation.

The technique of embryo transfer makes it possible to obtain animals with a SOPF (Specified and Opportunistic Pathogen Free) status. In certain cases, the technique of aseptic hysterectomy may also be used.

This service may also be provided by IVF (in vitro fertilisation) with  “fresh”  sperm from a single reproducer.

The service provision is validated by health monitoring leading to a SOPF status certificate.
