Important notice!

Please under no circumstances post samples to us before you receive your barcode numbers or strain tubes.

Christmas Shutdown

Please note that we will be closed over the Christmas period 17th December - 2nd January.

If you would like to send us samples prior to this break they must be received in our lab by 2pm on the 9th December to ensure that they are appropriately logged and stored. Following this, all samples accepted onto our system will automatically progress through our pipeline upon our return on the 3rd of January.

If you have any questions relating to this, please let us know.

Thank you, MicrobesNG Team

Important Information

Strain Submission

We are now able to accept GMM strains from anywhere in the world, thanks to our newly launched strain submission protocol:

Strain projects set up from 21st May 2021 will automatically use tubes with an inactivation buffer (provided by MicrobesNG in most circumstances).

Projects set up from 21st May 2021

In order to send live strains with the inactivation buffer protocol, the following criteria must be met:

The genus taxonomy of the strain is known.
The strains should be Hazard Groups 1 or 2 (Biosafety Levels 1 or 2) as defined in “The Approved List of biological agents” from UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/misc208.pdf).
The strains must be bacterial (we do not accept live viruses or eukaryotes) - for non-bacterial samples please send DNA free of viable organisms.
The strains must not be listed on the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, SCHEDULE 5 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/24/schedule/5?view=plain).

2. Projects set up prior to 21st May 2021

that will be sent using the bead tube protocol (Preparing stock tubes for MicrobesNG - updated 20/02/2018), will still be required to meet the following criteria:

The genus taxonomy of the strain is known.
The strains should be Hazard Groups 1 or 2 (Biosafety Levels 1 or 2) as defined in “The Approved List of biological agents” from UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/misc208.pdf), and not on the DEFRA list of plant pathogens.
The strains must be bacterial (we do not accept live viruses or eukaryotes) - for non-bacterial samples please send DNA free of viable organisms.
The strains must not be Genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). GMMs are organisms whose genes have been artificially altered to modify their characteristics in some way or another. A more detailed definition of what constitutes a genetic modification that makes a microorganism genetically modified can be found in UK’s HSE “The Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations 2014" (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l29.pdf) (see Guidance 2 in Page 12, and Schedule 2 in pages 59-60).
The strains must not be listed on the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, SCHEDULE 5 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/24/schedule/5?view=plain).

PLEASE NOTE: If any of your samples do not comply with any of the above we can still accept them as DNA (for our Standard service).
