FishCore

The ARMI FishCore facility is the largest zebrafish facility of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

It contains 1000 quarantine tanks and 5200 main facility (non-quarantine) tanks.  FishCore has the capacity to meet the needs of ARMI, Monash University and the greater biomedical community.  

Genetically modified and mutant strains of zebrafish that model a variety of human diseases and conditions can be housed in the facility.  Additional services include a sperm freezing and rederivation service for long-term storage requirements.  

FishCore is an AQIS approved quarantine facility for strains that require international importation.  As such, it can provide a comprehensive importation service—relieving researchers of the regulatory requirements and paper work associated with importation.  

The facility is also in close proximity to the Monash Micro Imaging (MMI) facility, which can meet any high performance microscopy requirements.
