To help cover a proportion of the administrative running costs of centres in the network and as part of the biorepository’s sustainability plan, the following user fees and conditions will be applied. The user fees will apply to currently existing collections of reference strains and clinical isolates and their associated data. The user fees are not valid for sputum nor prospective samples and data.
Commercial entities: £105 per isolate
Conditions: Provider retains full ownership of IP of Materials, Recipient retains ownership of Results
Non-commercial entities: £75 per isolate
Conditions: Share IP, co-authorship
Payments will be managed independently of the biorepository. Individual centres can reserve the right to change these costs dependent on the specific request.
