ABRC is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), The Ohio State University College of Arts and Sciences, and by the community through a stock and order fees.
ABRC and NASC, the Nottingham Arabidopsis Seed Centre, coordinate fees and distribution to provide seed materials as efficiently as possible to researchers worldwide.
Fees include stock charges for each item and an order charge for shipping and handling. Additional charges may also be included for express shipping and import documents.
Most seed stocks are provided free of charge to K-12 schools. Requests for reduced or waived charges due to financial difficulties will also be considered. Please contact us before placing an order if you would like to request reduced fees.
Stock and Order Charges
Stock charges are based on item and institution type (academic or commercial). Most individual stocks are $15 for academic use and $120 for commercial use. Sets of stocks are variably priced at a significant discount over the per stock charges.
Order charges are based on shipping location and are doubled if both seed and other stock types are ordered. The table below lists charges for US and international orders.
