Transgenic Mouse Genotyping Services
Laragen has provided transgenic, knock-out, knock-in and shRNA transgenic mouse genotyping services since 2002. Most of our mouse genotyping services are performed with probe based qPCR (TaqMan Assay). Our goal is to provide fast and accurate mouse genotyping services to researchers from both academic and industrial institutions. Unlike most of our competitors, who use crude tail lysate in the tests, Laragen uses high quality genomic DNA extracted with our proprietary DNA extraction technique. High quality genomic DNA is one of the key factors that helps us obtain above 99.95% accuracy in mouse genotyping. We accept a variety of mouse tissues samples that include tails, ears, toes, brains and other tissues. We also accept genomic DNA samples. Our transgenic mouse genotyping includes:
- 24 to 48 hours turnaround time. Same day service upon request
- 99.95% accuracy
- Competitive rates, bulk and multiple alleles discounts
- Our highly experienced new assay design at a very low or no cost
- Free DNA sample storage for up to 6 months
- Free sample pickup in the Los Angeles area
- Friendly customer service and strong technical support
Three types of mouse genotyping services are available at Laragen:

Depending on the number of samples and nature of the tests, we either waive the initial set-up fee or only charge a nominal set-up fee to cover the reagent cost. For the mouse models that are not in the Laragen test pool, we need to have the following to develop and convert the Laragen mouse genotyping protocols.
- Existing mouse genotyping protocols
- Transgene construct sequences
- Transgenic integration site or knock-in/knock-out sites if possible
- Control samples to validate the tests.
