Tetrahymena Stock CenterOrdering Tetrahymena Strains
The strains currently available for ordering from the Stock Center are listed here. If you do not see what you want, contact us or check again at a later date, since the list of available lines is updated as new strains are deposited.
We unfortunately have had to increase the fees for both individual strains and shipping in order to reflect our increased costs. Individual strains are now $30 academic / $60 commercial, but the mating type panel remains at $150 / $300. Shipping varies by country and represents our cost to ship via FedEx Standard Overnight within the US and via FedEx International Priority outside the US.
These fees are not meant to be an impediment to research, so academic researchers and educators without funding should contact us.
To order strains, please download the semi-automated Stock Order Form using Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7 or later, fill out the form according to the instructions located on the second page, and fax or email it to the Stock Center. (It's best to download the PDF from this website before each order so that you have access to the most current list of strains.)
You may pay by purchase order or credit card. Once you send us your order, we will email you an invoice and a credit card slip. If you wish to pay by credit card, fill out the slip and fax or mail it to us. Please do not send us your credit card information by email!
When a Stock ID is selected from the pull-down menu, the Strain Name, Mic Genotype (Mac Genotype & Phenotype), Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) Contact, and Strain and Shipping Costs will be provided. It is these semi-automatic features that require Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7 or later. If you are having any problems with the form or Adobe Reader please email the Stock Center.
