The time required to regrow this culture, prior shipping, is approximately 14 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.
Strain Specific FAQs:
Q: I will most probably buy CCMP292 and CCMP1730. I will use these cultures as negative control in CARD-FISH experiments in order to validate the specificity of some molecular probes I am using. I received a culture from a colleague not so long ago and the culture emitted natural fluorescence in the setting used with CARD-FISH. In other words, all my negative controls looked positive. Would it be possible to check the cultures under an epifluorescence microscope with filters having these properties: absorption 496 nm, emission 519 nm. There should be no green fluorescence emitted from the algae. Please let me know if it is possible. Following an answer, we shall proceed to buy the strains.
A: I'm afraid we don't have the filter cubes in our epi-scope that match the excitation that you are looking for.
