Academic storage package
Ensure you always have pure cultures available with our academic storage package - specially tailored to the needs of scientists working on grant funded projects.
Long-term, off-site storage
Are the strains you work with difficult to replace? If you work on microbial product or process development, or your research is dependant on key strains that would be difficult to replace, you can safeguard those strains by storing them with NCIMB.
Protect against strain drift and loss
Repeated subculturing can result in strain drift, and contamination or loss of viability can cause a major headache for researchers. Long term storage at NCIMB ensures that pure cultures of your original strain are always available for research or commercialisation projects.
Single payment for up to five years storage
Applying for grant funding? An up-front quote for preservation and storage with NCIMB can be included in funding applications, and we offer discounted rates when you commit to several years of storage at a time.
