CHARGES AND FEES FOR CULTURES AND SERVICES 2005



PRELIMINARY REMARKS

Prices are given in EURO and may be updated without notice. Updates of the price list will be supplied on request.

Bank fees (where applicable) and the costs of packaging and shipping will be added to the invoice.

Bacteria, fungi, yeasts, plasmids and cDNA libraries are made available to all bona fide individuals operating in a professional environment suitable for handling living material of the biohazard group involved.

First orders from new clients should be sent on an order form with official letterhead, signed by an authorised person. Further orders can be made by fax, e-mail, Internet, etc. Please mention your customer number on the order.

To avoid delay in delivery, copies of appropriate certificates or import licences, specific mailing tags or shipment regulations should accompany the order.

A discount is offered when ten or more strains are ordered at the same time.

Standard delivery of plasmids includes - if available - complete datasheet, circular map and nucleotide sequence. Upon specific request, the plasmids can be delivered without sequence, at a small discount, which is also valid in case the sequence is mainly unknown.

Bacteria are routinely forwarded in freeze-dried form. A lab fee of 8,00 EURO will be added for active bacterial cultures requested on agar.
