Animal welfare is a priority!

Take care of your mice:
Snooplex FastPrep is the solution!

With the novel preparation kit Snooplex FastPrep, genotyping of mice is now finally possible without the need for tail tip biopsy. Only three simple steps from sample collection to the finished PCR.

Our contribution to the 3 R's

based on W. Russel and R. Burch, 1959, The Principles of Humane Experimental Techniques

Refinement

Our Snooplex FastPrep kit enables genotyping from swab
samples - without the need for biopsies.
More

Reduction

Marker-assisted backcrossing, often called speed congenics, helps achieving your breeding goal in just 5 generations. As a result, 50% fewer animals are needed (on average).
More

Replacement

Alternative methods such as working on cell cultures can often avoid animal testing. GVG also genotypes cell lines.

GVG's additional R: Reproducibility

At GVG, we pay attention to a further "R", not yet mentioned by Russel and Burch: We contribute to making animal experiments more reliable and reproducible.
More

Background Testing

We provide the precise genetic background of your model including the Y chromosome. Our resolution goes beyond the substrain level all the way to distinguishing individuals.

Target Genotyping

We provide genotyping results fast, reliably and cost-effectivel - ready for automated upload into the animal facility management software.

Speed Congenics

We provide backcrossing support from any to any genetic background, quickly and specifically optimized for your project.

Snooplex FastPrep

Our genotyping kit enables most humane genotyping  - without the need for biopsies.

“GVG solves complex background determinations of mouse lines for us and finds fast solutions for critical genetic analyses"

Ronald Naumann Head of Transgenic Facility, MPI CBG Dresden

"Genetic quality control is as important for ensuring the validity of the animal model as health and microbiology monitoring are."
