What is the timeline for withdrawal and shipment of my samples?
Mice: After receiving a request for withdrawal and the completion of all paperwork associated with a request, the CMMR will contact the Withdrawing Investigator/Institution (WI) to set up a schedule for reanimation of mice from cryopreserved strains or for the shipment of cryopreserved strains/samples from the CMMR archive to the WI. The timelines below are from the commencement of reanimation using cryopreserved germ cells or embryos stored at the CMMR. Additional time may be required to obtain suitable recipient mice, suitable germ cell donor mice from commercial suppliers, fresh sperm or live donor mice from investigators, or when repeated attempts are necessary because of low reanimation efficiency. The scheduled start of reanimation attempts will depend on the number of requests in the queue. Each request for withdrawal will be given a specific date of commencement so that the WI will have an idea of the length of time required to obtain mice.
