MMRRC Fee Structure

The MMRRC established program-wide pricing for materials distributed from the archives regardless of the holding facility or the specific strain. Prices 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 prices for additional services available from that facility.

Likewise the fees for MMRRC-distributed ES cell lines and associated services are standardized across the MMRRC.

The distribution fees do not include the cost of shipping containers and freight. For international shipments, the facilities will charge an additional fee for document preparations required of international shipments.

Material Fee Notes
Live mice (3-5 weeks of age) from a production colony $200.00 / 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  $1,850.00 each Recovered litter1; additional fees for any special requests.
Cryopreserved Spermatozoa $400.00 / aliquot Quantity varies.2
Cryopreserved embryos, oocytes or ovaries $950.00 / aliquot Approximate quantities:2
  • 20-40 embryos / aliquot
  • 20-40 oocytes / aliquot
  • 2-4 ovaries / aliquot
Feeder cell lines $50.00 / vial
Mutant ES cell line clones and Parental cell lines
$500 / clone No resequencing confirmation.3
$750 / clone With resequencing confirmation.
Blastocyst microinjection of ES cell clone $3,035 / clone In addition to the per clone cost (see above); chimeras not guaranteed.
$5,070 / clone In addition to the per clone costs (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 mutant carries 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).
