Embryos
Normal, wild-type, white (d/d), and albino (a/a) |
$50.00 per 100 embryos |
Melanoid (m/m), eyeless (+/e x +/e), cardiac (+/c x +/c) short-toes (+/s x +/s), and other specific gene crosses |
$60.00 per 100 embryos |
white (d/d) GFP - 75% will "glow";noticeable at tailbud stage |

Notes about embryo orderes: Darkly pigmented embryos are sorted at blastula. Albino embryos are NOT sorted, so variability varies. "Early" embryos ordered to arrive pre-blastula are packaged prior to first-cleavage, and thus are not sorted for quality. Viability varies. |
Larvae and Juveniles
| Please note: all sizes may not be available. Email to find out current availability. In some cases (where space allows) animals may be raised to fill orders placed in advance. |

Terms and Conditions
Additional fees |
Prices listed do not include shipping fees. $10.00 minimum shipping cost. All live material is shipped overnight. Special arrangements may be made to pick-up material to avoid shipping fees. We are happy to charge shipping directly to a recipient's account, otherwise the shipping charges will appear on the recipient's invoice.
** $10.00 handling fee is asssessed for each box sent, containing live material (Note the increase in Handling fees for live animal shipments 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) |
Shipping supply recycling program |
We ask that all of our users please return our boxes and ice packs at their own expense, as we do not include the cost of shipping materials in our prices. 3rd class US mail is fine. |
Payment |
Research orders must be pre-paid by purchase order, credit card or institutional check. Credit card orders are not accepted for orders less than $20. We do not accept credit cards for non-research or K-12 educational orders. Please allow 1-2 weeks for orders with personal check. Purchasing and accounts payable representatives click here to download our W-9 form for tax purposes. |
Overdue and delinquent accounts |
We reserve the right to assess a $15.00 fee per month that an invoice remains overdue. Please contact the staff to make arrangements to avoid this fee. A $15.00 fee will be assessed for each check with insufficient funds. |
Pet policy |
The AGSC does not sell animals to be kept as pets, or to private breeders. Our animals are for educational or research purposes only. To obtain an animal elsewhere, please visit our alternative vendors page. |
