Start your own GMRC satellite colonyAs well offering last instar larvae to laboratories in the UK, we are also able to provide comprehensive Galleria rearing training package that includes:
- A full-day, in-person workshop which will cover all aspects of rearing (including making larval diet) - A written 'GMRC Rearing Manual' including UK based suppliers for consumables - A GMRC colony starter kit, including all lifecycle stages - Up to 2 further shipments of embryos to ensure successful colony establishment - Ongoing email support Watch the video to find out more about the process of rearing -> |

Benefits of housing a GMRC satellite colony over establishing from current
commercial suppliers
- Reassurance that the establishing line is healthy and fecund
- Genetically sequenced (soon to be available)
- Back up in the event of colony collapse/voluntary colony shut down
- Establishment of assays with the GMRC 'wild type' line, for future use in comparison to upcoming transgenics/knock outs
- Knowledgable technical support via email

What to expect from a laboratory colony
- Healthy larvae on tap for experiments!
- Ability to genetically manipulate the organism using embryos (transgenesis/CRISPR training also available on request)
- Continued silk production by larvae
- Decreased variability in batches compared to commercial suppliers
- Generally, an increase in health status (for infection experiments, CFUs may need to be increased from experiments with non-laboratory grade larvae)
