Join us for an introduction to Taconic Biosciences' products and services presented by your new sales representative, Astrid Smits, based out of France.
Taconic was founded as a family-owned company in 1952, pioneering Germ Free models and also the first to be AAALAC accredited in the 1970s. The company has grown to be a global provider of genetically engineered rodent models, with several rodent breeding facilities in Europe (Denmark and Germany), and in the USA (several sites including on the East and West coasts).
For most strains in our catalogue (Wild Type or Genetically Engineered Models), Taconic offers 6 different levels of health status ranging from Germ Free to SPF. Taconic also offers a large portfolio of Knockout models (around 18,000 cryopreserved KOR references) and a dedicated scientific team based in Europe.
Our global team works hand in hand with the world's leading pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic companies to generate genetically modified and humanized research models, manage colonies and related projects to facilitate discovery while maintaining efficient use of resources.
Having animal facilities in Europe and the USA facilitates the transfer of lines (in vivo or in vitro format) when collaborating with CROs or academics based across the Atlantic.
Animals in Taconic's comprehensive portfolio include:
Creation of new models/humanization (KO/KI): Genetically Engineered Animal Models
In Germany, model generation services enable models to be created and humanized as needed for your research. The animals can be delivered to your research facility or transferred to our Danish site for maintenance of the lines at our colony management facilities. Our customers have the possibility to audit us on site to check the breeding and transport conditions.
