Costs

Please see our pricing policy here.

Shipping

Standard delivery within the EU is free of charge, express mail is available on request and must be paid by the customer.

In case of international orders, we recommend sending by express mail. Please note that the cost of express mail depends on the destination country and must be paid by the customer. Please let us know if you would like express delivery (you can specify this when filling out the online order form) and we will let you know the exact cost.

Important: Please check the viability of the cultures you received from us within one week of delivery. In some cases, cultures may be temporarily affected by transport conditions but usually recover within this period. If a culture appears to be in poor condition upon arrival and does not recover within one week, please let us know and we will be happy to arrange a replacement of the same culture (the additional express shipping costs should still be covered by the customer). If a culture declines or dies after this period, or if the issue is reported later than one week after delivery, we unfortunately cannot assume responsibility, as such cases are likely related to handling or cultivation conditions after receipt. Thank you for your understanding.

Strain selection

Please select strains here. We also have a set of strains for teaching that can be downloaded here.

How to order

Once you have selected the strains you wish to purchase, you can proceed to order them in two steps:

1) Fill out the online order form below.

2) Download, complete and sign the MTA form. Send it to ccac@uni-due.de. Please note that your order will not be fully processed until we receive your completed and signed MTA form.

Please note that we usually need at least two weeks to grow the ordered culture, but this may be longer for some strains. The time required to grow the algae from our teaching set can be shorter.
