EMMA strain ordering information

 

EMMA strains are cryopreserved as frozen embryos and/or sperm. As the default, heterozygous material is being archived and distributed. Highly demanded EMMA strains are maintained on shelf to facilitate fast delivery to the customers. For all other EMMA strains a rederivation service is provided. EMMA screens and distributes mice in accordance with FELASA protocols and guarantees that mice leaving the EMMA institutions are free of pathogens as specified by FELASA.

EMMA does not generally offer breeding services to e.g. generate cohorts of homozygous mutants. However, such a service and fees may be negotiated with the respective EMMA distribution centre.

List of available EMMA strains/Search engine

Please submit your strain requests by following the 'order' link from the list of available EMMA strains. EMMA will contact you within one week after receipt of your EMMA Mutant Request Form. For more information about the order process please check the FAQs section. In general, service requests will not be processed until a fully executed Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) has been received (where applicable) and either a billing address or a purchase order number has been provided by the customer. In case of cancellations of service requests, EMMA reserves the right to charge customers for incurred costs. The individual EMMA repositories will each bill customers separately.

Strains under development

EMMA has newly submitted strains in various stages of preservation, development and colony establishment. These strains are not yet available for distribution and cannot be ordered yet. You should, however, indicate your interest in obtaining them. Registrations of interest will be handled with a first come - first served policy. The 'EMMA Strain Interest Registration Form' is accessible via the 'register interest' link on the EMMA strain list and on the strain description page.
This registration of interest is valuable in helping EMMA to anticipate demand and to optimize availability of strains. Customers will receive notice as soon as the strain becomes available and be able to place their strain request in time.
