Health status reports
Overview
JAX® Mice are bred within and shipped from multiple breeding rooms, either from The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, or from our in vivo pharmacology services facility in Sacramento, California. Health Status Reports are available as PDF files (see below). These reports are organized on the basis of the shipping room of origin, which is also the breeding room of origin. To determine which room houses a strain of interest, call Customer Service at 1-800-422-6423 (US, Canada & Puerto Rico) or 1-207-288-5845 (from any location) or see Index of JAX® Mice & Room Numbers, which lists strains in Production and Repository Facilities only.
Breeding rooms for JAX® Mice are maintained in our Production, Repository or Research Facilities. ALL mice coming into The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, from ANY outside source are received in our quarantine facility where they are housed in negatively pressurized ventilated cages and where all mouse manipulations are performed in biosafety cabinets prior to rederivation; all incoming mice are rederived. Rederived mice are tested for —and proven free of— all excluded agents and selected opportunists (see list of agents monitored & policy for communication of changes in health status) prior to release into the Production, Repository or Research colonies. Individual animal housing rooms are maintained at different barrier levels: standard, high, and maximum in the Production and Repository facilities and low, intermediate, and elevated in the Research facility. See the overview of The Jackson Laboratory facility barrier levels for details.

Health status reports for production and repository facilities
These mice are bred specifically for distribution to customers. The exception is the SPF colony that consists of animals with a defined aerobic flora that are bred primarily as an in-house resource but that may be available in limited numbers for distribution to customers.
