Researchers, Lab Animal Managers, and Animal Purchasing Agents
– Nasco has expanded its Xenopus colony!
Nasco has outbred Nigerian Xenopus tropicalis frogs. These are from University of VA stock.
Nasco can also ship surgically extracted frog ovaries for your convenience.
We will pack them in sterile ND-96 saline, ship on wet ice in insulated cartons, via UPS Next Day Air A.M. Delivery.
Why risk your valuable research on wild-caught frogs of unknown origin? Such frogs could be of uncertain age, diet, and exposed to environmental pollutants or parasites.
All Nasco Xenopus have been lab-bred in our Wisconsin facility under stringent care. These are vigorous animals selected for premium reproductive capacity and are raised exclusively on our custom frog diet, Nasco's frog brittle. (Frog Brittle is produced exclusively for Nasco by Purina Mills®. This product is not affected by any pet food industry recalls. There is no wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate in this product.)
- All Nasco Xenopus are lab-bred animals.
- None are captured from the wild.
- Good supplies of pigmented Xenopus are available for immediate shipment!
Nasco has over 60 years experience providing living specimens worldwide for education and research.
