More C. elegans Models Services
InVivo BioSystems provides a specialized service to biotechnology researchers involved in Caenorhabditis elegans transgenic research. With the use of cutting-edge CRISPR technologies, the team is able to offer accurate and efficient C. elegans custom injection service. Each CRISPR injection services are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each client, allowing for customized and precise enhancement of genome editing.
Below are the benefits of InVivo Biosystems’ custom injection service for C. elegans transgenic research using CRISPR technology.
InVivo Biosystems’ types of injection services:
Inject Express is a fast and affordable way to turn your prepared plasmids into C. elegans strains. You provide the injection mix and we complete the injections and return the worms to you for screening in less than a week.

Examples of successful (left) and unsuccessful (right) injections. The video captures COP1403 (unc-18) injections.
Your injection materials are cataloged upon receiving in our lab, and your strain is maintained under proper conditions by our expert staff in preparation for injection.
Our experienced injectionists perform microinjections to your specifications.
We confirm the survival of the injected animals 24 hours after injection and then prepare for shipping.

You provide the gene editing idea, we design the reagents, complete the injections and provide animals who have passed our first round of screening.
Need an alternative C. elegans strain injected? We can do it! We need an additional week to grow a population suitable for injection. A Strain Preparation fee will be applied once per strain.
Note: The option to inject into N2, unc-119 (ed3) null, unc-18 null, or various MosSCI strains (ttTi5605, cxTi10882, ttTi14024) is included at no additional charge.
Due to temperature requirements, we recommend that we keep your miniMOS projects at our facility post injection (as opposed to shipping the following day) to ensure a higher chance of success. Heat shock screening and shipping of surviving lines can be completed for an additional fee.
Note: In the event of low transgenic yield, we are happy to provide troubleshooting for your injection mix.
