The MMRRC has established program-wide fees for materials distributed from the archives regardless of the holding facility or the specific strain. Fees for mice, cryo-recovery, and cryopreserved germplasm are listed near the bottom of each Strain Detail Sheet in the catalog. Each of the MMRRC facilities sets its own fees for additional services available from that facility. Likewise the fees for MMRRC-distributed ES cell lines and associated services are standardized across the MMRRC.

| Material | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Live mice (3-5 weeks of age) from a production colony | $212 / mouse | The supplying MMRRC facility may assess additional fees for any special requests (e.g., specific age or weight of mice, etc.). |
| Resuscitation from a cryopreserved archive | $1,963 / litter | Recovered litter1; additional fees for any special requests. |
| Cryopreserved Spermatozoa | $424 / aliquot | Quantity varies.2 |
| Cryopreserved embryos, oocytes or ovaries | $1,008 / aliquot | Approximate quantities:2
|
| Feeder cell lines | $54 / vial | |
|
Parental cell lines |
$54 / vial | These are high passage wild type parental clones suitable for DNA extraction, control purposes, but not for germline transmission. |
| $530 / vial | These are low passage wild type parental clones suitable for a single electroporation and germline transmission. | |
| Fee: inquire mmrrc@ucdavis.edu | For both BayGenomics parental ES cell line E14Tg2a.4 (also used for Sanger (SIGTR) lines) and Soriano parental ES cell line AK7, ultra low passage cells suitable for multiple electroporations and germline transmission are available. If you request these when placing your order, the appropriate MMRRC facility will contact you to discuss the availability and the fee. | |
|
Mutant ES cell line clones |
$530 / vial | No resequencing confirmation.3 |
| $801 / clone | With resequencing confirmation. | |
| Blastocyst microinjection of ES cell clone | $3,220 / clone | In addition to the per mutant ES cell line fee (see above); chimeras not guaranteed. |
| $5,379 / clone | In addition to the per mutant ES cell line fee (see above); at least one 50% or greater chimeric male, or not charged at all. |
1 Please note: for the resuscitation fee, you will receive the recovered litter regardless of genotypes and quantities. While this frequently results in multiple mutation carriers and breeding pairs, at minimum you will receive animals and genotype(s) sufficient to start a breeding colony. You may also request additional breeding in order to obtain specific numbers of mice by gender and/or genotype with additional per mouse distribution fee.
2 Quantities are approximate and sufficient to recover two breeder pairs (or an equivalent number of mice) when recovery is performed at the supplying MMRRC facility.
3 Note: We recommend verification of the identity of ES cell line by DNA sequencing (see MMRRC / BayGenomics ES Cell Clones for additional information).
