All our strains are distributed under an MTA (Material Transfer Agreement)  which sets out the general terms and conditions of use and includes the passport data required for the use of the resources.

All requests must be sent by email to ubocc@univ-brest.fr. You can also order directly from our online catalog after registering on the website.

Upon receipt of the request, we will verify compliance with the Nagoya Protocol and the various laws derived from it.

We will then send you the quote and the MTA associated with the order. The order will be confirmed upon receipt of the signed MTA, by email.

The biological resources requested will then be cultured and monitored under conditions appropriate for each type of microorganism. The shipping time will depend on the growth time of the resource.
