How to deposit your viruses with NCPV
Why deposit with us?
NCPV is proud to have provided reliable storage of authenticated viruses for over 25 years. By depositing with NCPV, scientist can make the strains used in their research projects available to the wider scientific community, whilst still retaining ownership of the strains. When users of your strains cite your original work it can raise the profile of your peer-review publications.
Any profits made from selling the viruses are put back into UKHSA, to promote further scientific research.
How to deposit viruses
The depositing process is relatively simple and free requiring a dialogue between the depositor and the National Collection of Pathogenic Viruses (NCPV). We will ensure that relevant biosafety and culture information is captured. Our system is deliberately flexible to allow for any depositor restrictions or requirements.
Please wait for notification of acceptance of your strain(s) before shipping.
