Pricing

• Prices are different for the public (research centers, universities) or private sector (companies).

• Strains are provided for free to ARC collaborators

• ARC user charges are established based on the cost of time spent by the collection staff to perform transfer preparations, quality assurance, transfer of perpetual stocks, and post-transfer cleanup for each clone available for public use
