Pricing
The FGSC pricing scheme is designed to allow us to cover the
cost of preparing and delivering materials.
These fees supersede all other fee lists. They were revised most recently at the September 2007 FGSC Advisory Board meeting.
The FGSC does not 'sell' materials. We distribute materials and ask a handling fee.
Shipping format
All strains from the FGSC are sent as growing cultures.
Most stocks are maintained both as desiccated spores on
silica gel or as freeze-dried spores. Strains that do not sporulate are stored
at -80 and in liquid nitrogen. When a strain is requested, we start it growing
at the FGSC. 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.
In most cases, the E. coli strain is
JM101 or DH5-alpha. In some cases, we do not know in what strain the
clone was deposited.
Payments
The FGSC accepts payments by check, credit card in special cases, by electronic transfer.
Each order will be
accompanied by an invoice that includes room for credit-card information. We require a signed form to accompany
each credit card payment. These may be mailed or Faxed to the FGSC. We cannot
accept credit card payments over the phone or internet. Please do not e-mail credit card information.
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. 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. Please do not just ignore our
invoices. We need to track clients who ask for a fee waiver.
Terms
The FGSC makes every effort to fulfill strain and other material requests in
a timely manner. We are, however, not a company. 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. Our fees are not prices, per se, but rather
attempt to cover the cost of maintaining and preparing materials for shipment.
The FGSC is part of the University of Missouri- Kansas City and as such is
non-profit.
We expect payment within 30 to 60 days of receiving an order. Please do your best to support the FGSC.
We ask that people who use materials from the FGSC cite
