What does EMMA require from the depositor?
If embryos are to be frozen down EMMA requires the depositor to send several breeding animals, ideally 10 females and 6 males. The more breeding pairs the depositor can send the quicker the stock will be cryopreserved. For sperm freezing 6 males are sufficient. Depositors also have to provide a health status report for the mice they want to send. This report must be less than 3 months old.
