A list of procedures and their costs are available upon request. A monthly itemized invoice including charges for all procedures and per diem costs is provided to the investigator.

Embryos produced by FVB x FVB inbred crosses are used for injection.
Mice produced in the TMCL are specific pathogen free animals.
The investigator is responsible for supplying the DNA in a form acceptable for injection. The investigator is responsible for screening of the putative transgenic animals. The TMCL will harvest tissues at weaning and ship them to the investigator on ice. If the investigator requires a strain of mice other than FVB, any additional cost of procuring and housing the animals will be borne by the investigator. In some cases, preliminary studies on the suitability of the desired strain for use as transgenic animals may be required.
