CARD HyperOva
® (Superovulation Reagent for mouse) (Japanese Patent No. 5927588) is an ultra-superovulation reagent that is 3-4 times more efficient at inducing ovulation than the conventional PMSG-hCG method (80 ova per C57BL/6 mouse versus approximately 20). CARD HyperOva
® is also effective with many other strains. Even further gains in efficiency can be realized by using CARD MEDIUM
® during the IVF procedure.
Why Use CARD HyperOva® ?
- Reduce Animal Use (contribute to the 3Rs of animal welfare: Replacement, Reduction, Refinement)
- Using CARD HyperOva® can reduce the number of oocyte donor mice by a factor of 1/3-1/4.
- Optimize creation and preservation of genetically modified mice.
- More ova from fewer mice using CARD HyperOva® facilitates in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
- More ova from fewer mice using CARD HyperOva® enables the large-scale preparation of embryos.
- Get more done!
