The Jackson Laboratory was founded on the idea that significant advances in human health are achieved when scientists work together in the right environment with the right tools. As the world's largest mouse model repository, we provide reliable, global access to over 13,000 of the most common and unique mouse strains. All mice added to the JAX repository have undergone critical review by the Genetic Resource Committee and have been genetically characterized to ensure their scientific validity. When you choose JAX mice, not only do you get the precise model you expect, but you also gain JAX scientists, veterinarians, colony managers, and experts as an extension of your team - all dedicated to advancing your research success.
We understand research spans months to years. Whether you purchase JAX mice today, tomorrow, five years from now, or beyond, you can be confident in the genetic stability of your model.
JAX mice are the most published and well-characterized models worldwide. Most JAX mice have been validated through prior scientific use, with comprehensive data readily available on the strain datasheets.
For over 90 years, JAX has been committed to advancing the 3Rs. We've developed state-of-the-art caging systems and specially designed, dedicated delivery trucks, ensuring mice arrive at your facility healthy and less stressed.
The Jackson Laboratory is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of genetic integrity and stability in our mouse models. We achieve this through stringent monitoring, genotyping, and breeding practices. Our Genetic Quality Control Program and Genetic Stability Programs include regular phenotypic and genetic validation and carefully executed breeding protocols to guarantee that researchers receive reliable and reproducible models.

A searchable database consisting of baseline phenotype and gene expression data, protocols, and SNP panels. The database includes anatomical, physiological, and behavioral data for a subset of the most used mouse strains.
At The Jackson Laboratory, we prioritize safe and timely delivery for our mouse models, both domestically and internationally. Our commitment to their well-being extends to significant investments in technology, including specially constructed trucks equipped with advanced environmental control systems. These systems ensure a low-stress, clean, and comfortable environment for the mice throughout the shipping process.
