Welcome to the Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center
The Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center is a self-sustaining, breeding colony of the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) supported by the National Science Foundation as a Living Stock Collection under the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI) and located in the Department of Biology at the University of Kentucky. The AGSC is a genetic stock center dedicated to the supply of genetically well-characterized axolotl embryos, larvae, and adults to laboratories and classrooms throughout the United States and abroad.
Our mission is to serve biology research programs and educators by providing experimental material and expertise and by encouraging and facilitating the exchange of information and ideas.

Fee Increase!
Handling fees for live animal shipments will increase this month from $5.00 to $10.00. This will compensate for the return address labels we will be adding to the shipments. This will help us get our boxes back faster, so we do not have to purchase more for future shipments.
Please give us feedback!
We would appreciate you taking a few minutes to answer three short questions. We are very interested in your comments and advice and your identity will be kept anonymous. Thanks for helping us set goals that will help us better meet the needs of the axolotl community.Click Here for Survey

Ordering Embryos....
Anyone ordering embryos needs to give us atleast a one week notice as to when they need the embryos. This way we can plan for the matings that are needed to fulfill the orders. Thank you.
