If any of you is interested on zebrafish or
xenopus laevis fertilized eggs, these are available at regular intervals over the year. Every week or two the frog unit performs in-vitro fertilization of
Xenopus laevis eggs to obtain embryos. The male donors are killed to obtain their testis, which means that other organs are available to other users. If you have a scientific/educational use for these tissues, you can contact us at awbnuig@gmail.com and we will put you in contact with the relevant researcher.
Please note that you could not let unmodified eggs to hatch, unless your unit has a breeding authorization. Equally you could not use modified/altered fertilized eggs beyond their independent feeding larval stages unless it is done under a project authorization.
The Zebrafish Breeding Unit in Biochemistry routinely collects fertilized eggs from planned spawnings of zebrafish broodstock. If you require zebrafish embryos for scientific/research use, you can contact the Animal Welfare Body (awbnuig@gmail.com) and we will put you in contact with the relevant researcher.
