CICC offers secure and advanced storage facilities for your valuable biological materials. Currently, CICC only accepts biological materials belong to BSL-1 or BSL-2, any biological materials beyond these two groups will be refused. According to your needs, CICC now provides two kinds of deposit services: Deposit in the General Collection and Safe Deposit.
Deposit in the General Collection
Microorganisms sent for deposit in the General Collection should have been used in work already published or prepared for publication. Biological materials deposit in the General Collection will be available to all scientific community in both academic and industrial institutions.
Deposit in the General Collection is free of charge and after we receive MTA, the depositor can get two deposited strains for free.
Step-by-step instruction:
1. Download and fill in the “DEPOSITION DATA SHEET” form, scan the document and send it to sales@china-cicc.org prior to sending the biological material. The document will be assessed by our technical department. At this stage, the depositor may be asked to make some corrections or provide more documents for deposit.
2. When CICC decides to accept the biological material, an MTA should be signed by both CICC representatives and the depositor. After receiving the MTA, the depositor can send the biological material and the signed original MTA back to CICC. CICC will not accept any biological materials without advanced notice in any case.
3. Upon receiving the biological material, a CICC accession number will be assigned to the microorganism. The depositor will be informed about the CICC number after authenticity of the culture is confirmed by checking the viability and the purity. Any culture failed in the authenticity test will be refused for deposition. Once the culture is proved to be qualified, the CICC number of the culture, the deposit certification and two lyophilized copies of the culture will be send to the depositor.
Safe Deposit
Besides deposits in the general, publicly accessible collection, CICC offers safe deposit for special needs. All information about the safe deposition material will be retained in confidence, and the culture material will only be available to the depositor or an individual designated in writing by the depositor. Even though the biological materials are sent to and stored in CICC, they will remain the property of the depositor. For more detail information, please feel free to contact us.
