Gottingen Minipig Diaphragm
Gottingen Minipig tissue available fresh, frozen, or fixed. Collected via aseptic necropsy with full documentation.
Gottingen Minipig Overview
The Göttingen minipig is the smallest and most genetically defined minipig, with skin, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal physiology closely resembling humans. It is the leading non-rodent alternative for toxicology, dermal, and diabetes research.
Quick Facts
Gottingen Minipig Diaphragm is research-grade minipig tissue intended for preclinical and translational research. Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific information and handling details to support consistency across studies.
Diaphragm tissue enables respiratory muscle research, ventilation studies, and investigations of muscular dystrophy.
Available from Göttingen and Yucatan lineages.
Common applications
- Respiratory muscle physiology
- Muscular dystrophy research
- Ventilation and breathing studies
- Neuromuscular disease
- Phrenic nerve studies
Collection, processing & handling
Tissue is collected and processed with protocols designed to preserve downstream histology and molecular workflows. Available formats include fresh, frozen, OCT-embedded, or FFPE as appropriate. Cold-chain logistics with documented handling throughout.
Quality control & documentation
QC testing options available on request, including material-appropriate analytical checks and extended documentation. Standard documentation includes collection/processing metadata, lot identifiers, and chain-of-custody records. Custom QC panels can be configured for GLP or regulatory-facing studies.
