Cyagen's comprehensive small animal phenotype analysis platform can provide standardized phenotyping services covering a wide range of research, including cardiovascular, tumor/oncology, immunity, metabolic, neurological, and many other studies. Our services include surgical model construction alongside analytics capabilities for blood, tissue histology and morphology, pathology, genomic and proteomic expression, behavioral and metabolic analysis, and more. To provide customers with a meticulously regulated service platform, Cyagen performs the scope of work - model construction, breeding, surgery, and phenotype analysis - delivering a report of the comprehensive results for use in your study.
Service Name | Introduction |
---|---|
Ultrasonography |
Ultrasonography uses sound waves, which are transmitted in soft tissues, to produce pictures of the inside of the body. This diagnostic imaging method is used in various fields of small animal in vivo imaging research, such as cardiology, oncology, reproduction and development, neurobiology, stem cell research, pathotoxicology, pharmacology, nanobiology, and others. |
Blood Biochemistry |
We can provide hematology analytic services for most indicators in mice and rats, including routine blood tests (five classification blood cell analysis - with reticulocytes), coagulation tests, liver function, renal function, blood glucose, blood lipids, cardiac enzymes, C-reactive protein (CRP), electrolytes, antioxidants, immune factors, and more. |
Histology & Pathology |
Our histopathology sampling capabilities include tissue fixation, dehydration, embedding, sectioning, H&E staining, and special staining. Examples of our related services include analyzing the detection of pathological signs, protein localization and expression, cell proliferation and apoptosis, and in situ gene expression. |
Metabolic Phenotyping |
Cyagen offers supplementary services for comprehensive phenotypic assessment, including food and water consumption monitoring, automatic separation and collection of feces and urine, glucose/lipid metabolism tests, and more. |
Gene and Protein Expression |
Cyagen can undertake most general molecular biology experiments, such as PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, OD quantitation, ELISA detection, quantitative protein extraction, RNA extraction, Southern Blot, Western Blot, primer design and synthesis. |
Cell Function Testing |
Cyagen provides various in vitro cell function testing services, including transwell invasion, cell migration, cell cycle, cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, and other cell detection assays that can be realized by the flow cytometry platform. |
Behavioral Test |
Cyagen’s expert team has built a rodent neurobehavioral platform after years of preparation. We have state-of-the-art behavioral experimental equipment with a recording and analysis system, which can provide multi-type rodent behavioral experimental services such as water mazes, novel object recognition (NOR), Y maze, rotarod, open field, forced swimming, elevated plus maze (EPM), and more. |
