MMRRC Fees

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 Non-Profit/Academic Fee For-Profit Fee Unit Notes
Live mice (3-5 weeks of age) from a production colony $218 $571 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 $2,022 $4,109 litter Recovered litter1; additional fees for any special requests.
Cryopreserved Spermatozoa $437 $817 aliquot Quantity varies.2
Cryopreserved Embryos $1,038 $2,621 aliquot Approximate quantities2: 20-40 embryos / aliquot
Cryopreserved Oocytes or ovaries $1,038 $1,508 aliquot Approximate quantities2: 20-40 oocytes or 2-4 ovaries / aliquot
Feeder cell lines $56 $113 vial  
Parental cell lines, high passage wild type parental clones $56 $113 vial These are suitable for DNA extraction, control purposes but not for germline transmission.
Parental cell lines, low passage wild type parental clones $546 $864 vial These are suitable for a single electroporation and germline transmission.
Parental cell lines, ultra low passage cells Fee: inquire mmrrc@ucdavis.edu Fee: inquire mmrrc@ucdavis.edu These are suitable for multiple electroporations (germline transmission available). Parental ES cell line E14Tg2a.4 was used in generating both the BayGenomics and Sanger (SIGTR) lines. Parental ES cell line AK7 was used to generate the Soriano lines.
Mutant ES cell line clones
$546 $864 vial Without sequencing confirmation.*
$825 $1,396 cell line With sequencing confirmation.*
Blastocyst microinjection of ES cell line clone $3,317 $6,070 cell line In addition to the per mutant ES cell line fee (see above); chimeras not guaranteed.
$5,540 $8,073 cell line 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.

The MMRRC distribution policy regarding order cancellations: By filing an order request, customer agrees to be responsible for paying a cryo fee for cryo-distribution or resuscitation of live mice from a cryopreserved archive. Should customer subsequently decide to cancel, or not accept delivery of mice recovered or material from the cryopreserved archive, the MMRRC will still invoice for the cryo-recovery or cryo-distribution service which the customer agrees to pay.

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.

* Note: We recommend verification of the identity of ES cell line by DNA sequencing (see MMRRC / BayGenomics ES Cell Clones for additional information).
