Description

ICSB offers this unique product and service that has been developed from over 35 years of research. Now you can continue your breeding program, from remote locations and ship your dog’s testes after neutering or an un-foreseen event. This kit and service can also be used for dogs who are difficult to collect or not willing to collect. Harvesting allows ICSB to extract the sperm cells and freeze them for later use.

The ICSB Epi Kit is an amazing opportunity for breeders and pet owners to preserve that special friend and stud dog that cannot be replaced. The sperm cells that are extracted, (when shipped and cared for properly) have an excellent chance of survival, even in situations where the dog has died suddenly.

The staff at ICSB has been extensively trained in this delicate and little known procedure. Research and training has been done exclusively by Prof. Carrol C. Platz, Jr.

When you wish to ship the testes from an animal that is neutered, euthanized or passed traumatically, please always call our office at 503-663-7031 to inform us of the shipment and to ensure we are in the office to process. Please do not select a delivery time any earlier than 9am but no later than 12:30pm.

See our Epididymal Harvest Service for fees.

In the event of an emergency, never freeze the testes nor stud, keep chilled/refrigerated if possible.

If you would like us to return the specimen/testes, we kindly ask for advance notice and either a provided return label or authorization/payment for us to generate one. Please note that we are unable to retrieve the specimen from our biohazard waste, so advance notification is necessary if you wish to keep it. Prompt handling and return of the specimen is crucial to prevent decomposition.
