Sinclair Nanopig Tongue
Sinclair Minipig tissue available fresh, frozen, or fixed. Collected via aseptic necropsy with full documentation.
Sinclair Nanopig Overview
The Sinclair Nanopig is the smallest miniature swine line and is renowned for spontaneously developing cutaneous melanoma that regresses much like human melanoma, providing a unique large-animal model for oncology and dermatology research.
Quick Facts
Sinclair Nanopig Tongue is research-grade pig 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.
Tongue tissue supports oral biology research, taste receptor studies, and sublingual drug delivery investigations.
Common applications
- Sublingual drug delivery
- Taste receptor research
- Oral mucosa studies
- Oral cancer research
- Salivary gland biology
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.
