CCMP1630 was cryopreserved on Feb 3 2005 using 5% DMSO as a cryoprotectant.
The time required to regrow this culture, prior shipping, is approximately 13 days. If interested, please contact the CCMP for the cryopreservation methods (freezing and/or thawing protocols).
Note that aquaculture strains are always maintained as actively growing cultures, even if also cryogenically stored. Therefore, aquaculture strains (see aquaculture express ordering on the CCMP home page) can be shipped immediately upon request.

Q: We’ve recently purchased CCMP 1630 and hope to evaluate their growth rates in controlled laboratory conditions. Would it be possible to obtain information on how these marine cultures are maintained at your facility (temperature, pH, nutrients, light) ? Any other information regarding their preferred culturing conditions would also be appreciated.
A: CCMP1630 is maintained at 24C in L1- medium
