PRICE LIST
There have been no price rises for NCPPB cultures for several years. Due to increased costs,
especially for transport of cultures and to meet the needs of new legislation, we have had to
increase our prices.

| Packaging, postage and handling charge for overseas delivery | £50.00 per order |
| Application for export licence for Australia group organisms for export outside the EU | £60.00 per order |
| DNA extracts can be prepared from NCPPB cultures if preferred. | |

| This method is UKAS accredited and is widely regarded as the best method for rapid, accurate and inexpensive identification of bacteria. We have libraries of profiles for a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria of ecological, industrial, medical and agricultural significance. Our FAP system is based on the Sherlock Microbial Identification System by MIDI Inc. We require that strains to be identified by FAP are supplied as pure cultures on a simple solid media, such as Nutrient Agar, or on Trypticase Soy Broth Agar (TSBA). | |
| Prices: | |
| 1 to 10 isolates | £60.00 per isolate |
| 11 to 20 isolates | £40.00 per isolate |
| 21 to 30 isolates | £30.00 per isolate |
| 31 or more isolates | £25.00 per isolate |
|
*Fatty acid profiling alone cannot always be relied upon to provide a definitive identification; further tests may be required and we are able to discuss the most appropriate course of action. |

| Comparative DNA sequencing analysis is widely considered to be the best genotypic method for microbial identification to species level for many bacteria. The most common approach is PCR amplification and sequencing of all or a 500bp portion of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Sequence data is then compared against a sequence database.We can also sequence 'House Keeping' genes. For example, gyrB sequences are sufficiently distinct to allow discrimination of the majority of established species in the genus Xanthomonas. The gyrB phylogeny offers greater resolution amongst Xanthomonads than those produced previously from the 16S rRNA gene or 16S-23S intergenic loci. | |
