Mouse Tissue Biobank

Dig into the our repository of mouse tissues collected from gnotobiotic and germ-free mice. Find samples prepared for experiments such as RNA-extraction. We also have a biobank of samples prepared specifically for histological observations here. This biobank keeps expanding as new tissues are collected from diverse mouse models. 

Whether or not you find what you’re looking for, send us a request and we will get back to you!
