Terms
The FGSC makes every effort to fulfill strain and other material requests in a timely manner. We are, however, only two or three people with limited resources.

The FGSC does not 'sell' materials. We distribute materials and ask a handling fee.

All of the materials in the FGSC collection are in the public domain and while we test every strain, clone and library to the best of our ability, we make no warranty as to their suitability for any use. All materials are sent on an as-is basis and we limit our liability to the fees received.

The FGSC is part of the University of Missouri- Kansas City and as such is a non-profit organization.

We expect payment within 30 to 60 days of receiving an order. Please do your best to support the FGSC.

Payments
The FGSC accepts payments by check, credit card in special cases, by electronic transfer. Each order will be accompanied by an invoice. Payment should be arranged within 30 days.
Credit card payments may only be carried out using the University of Missouri- Kansas City E-commerce site here:  Fungal Genetics Stock Center online credit card payment form

Fee Waivers
The FGSC can waive all or part of our fees for researchers who do not have funding. It is expected, however, that people will endeavor to reimburse us for materials when possible and we cannot waive fees for commercial clients.

If you are establishing a new laboratory, please contact us. The FGSC fees are not intended to be an impediment to strain utilization.

Fees
The FGSC pricing scheme is designed to allow us to cover the cost of curating, preparing, and delivering materials.

These fees supersede all other fee lists.  They were revised most recently at the September 2009 FGSC Advisory Board meeting.

Shipping format
All shipments from the FGSC are sent "FCA." The FGSC will arrange shipping, but any duties, taxes or import fees are the responsibility of the recipient. Fungal strains from the FGSC are sent as growing cultures.
Most strains can be shipped within a week. Some require more effort to revive and can take longer. Please consult us if there are any concerns about delays.

Plasmid, cosmid, fosmid, or BAC clones are usually shipped after overnight growth and will arrive as a living E. coli stab on LB medium within the US.

Plasmids sent to foreign destinations will be sent as DNA spotted on filter paper.
 

Gene library pools are sent as an aliquot of a phage suspension.

Permits and Import Fees
It is the responsibility of the recipient to obtain all appropriate import permits.

Please read the WFCC statement on shipping biological materials
