How it works

An advanced process, step by step.

Genetic preservation and cloning combine reproductive biotechnology with rigorous scientific control. We explain each stage clearly.

Pathway A

Genetic preservation

From the first consultation until the cells are cryopreserved.

01

Consultation

02

Sample collection

03

Shipping

04

Cell culture

05

Cryopreservation

01

Consultation and sample collection

We assess your case. Your vet takes a small skin biopsy, following our instructions, and sends it to our laboratory.

02

Laboratory processing

We isolate and culture the cells from the sample. When the culture is viable, we obtain fibroblasts.

03

Cryopreservation

We store the cells obtained at very low temperatures, so that they remain available in the future.

Pathway B

Cloning

A general overview of the procedure. The specific stages, requirements and timelines are confirmed for each species and each case.

01

Preserved cells. The process starts with viable, previously preserved cells from the animal.

02

Assessment. We study the feasibility of the case with you.

03

Nuclear transfer. The nucleus of one of the animal’s cells is placed into an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed.

04

Embryo development. The embryo is cultured under controlled conditions.

05

Pregnancy. The embryo is transferred to a surrogate female of the same species.

06

Birth and follow-up. We continue to support you after the birth.

Two different services

Preservation is not cloning

Preservation means storing your animal’s cells today. Cloning is one possible future use of those cells, but it is a separate service with its own process, timeline and assessment.

Genetic preservation

Cloning

What it is

Genetic preservation

Storing viable cells from the animal

Cloning

Producing a new animal from preserved cells

When

Genetic preservation

Can be done today, while the animal is healthy

Cloning

A later decision, if you wish

Result

Genetic preservation

Cryopreserved cell material

Cloning

An animal with the same nuclear genetic information, with its own personality

Guarantees

Genetic preservation

Does not guarantee future cloning

Cloning

Each case requires a specific assessment

Price
