Due to lack of technician staff, it is not possible to considerabely increase number of maintained strains in living stage. Therefore, we introduced the cryopreservation techniques to preserve a large number of strains isolated during various taxonomic studies. However, we had to increase the prize for those strains maintained only in cryopreserved state, to cover the labour cost connected with their melting and re-cryopreserving.

Cultures that are purchased by individuals should be paid in advance. Organizations that maintain separate accounting facilities may pay after receipt of cultures, provided that the address to which the bill should be sent is included with the order.

The cultures are provided free of charge in exchange with other accredited algal culture collections.
