Mouse (BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1) Spleen
Mouse tissue samples (Mus musculus) collected via aseptic necropsy. Multiple preservation options available. Full pathology documentation included.
C57BL/6 Mouse Overview
C57BL/6 is the most widely used inbred mouse strain and the standard genetic background for the majority of transgenic and knockout models. Its Th1-biased immunity and deep characterization make it the default choice across nearly every research area.
Quick Facts
Mouse (BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1) Spleen is research-grade mouse 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.
Spleen tissue provides access to organized lymphoid architecture for immunology research and immune cell population studies.
Available strains include BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1.
Common applications
- Lymphoid tissue architecture studies
- Immune cell population analysis
- Splenic marginal zone research
- Immunotoxicology
- Vaccine response 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.
Also available: splenocytes for functional immune assays from the same species for comprehensive study design.
Ordering notes
For specific donor criteria, strain, volumes, or custom handling requirements, request a quote and include your study specifications. Available strains include BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.

We offer fresh tissue (shipped on ice), snap-frozen tissue (-80°C or LN2), FFPE blocks (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded), and OCT-embedded frozen sections. Choose based on your downstream application: fresh for cell isolation, frozen for molecular work, FFPE for histology/IHC.
Yes, we can provide multiple tissues from the same donor animal. This is valuable for studies comparing tissue distribution or requiring matched samples. Contact us with your tissue list for availability.
Each tissue sample includes donor information (age, sex, health status), collection date, preservation method, and gross pathology notes. Full necropsy reports are available upon request.
