Introducing the ModelShare™ repository program from SAGE™ Labs. This unique program allows you to pass the effort and expense of colony husbandry to us, freeing you to focus on your research. Best of all, it’s free.

It’s easy. Submit your model to our dedicated team for free archival and cryopreservation, where it is guaranteed against accidental loss and genetic contamination. Your model will then be rederived to a high-health status and may be resupplied to you upon need. Submitted strains will be promoted on our website and made available to researchers worldwide, fostering collaboration and fulfilling your NIH obligations.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Knockout rat strains with reproducible rates of fertility and viability
  • Peer-reviewed publication on strain characterization of phenotype
  • PCR-based genotyping assay available
