Commercial use and licensing information

Biological samples sold by Culture Collections are sold for research purposes only as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

However, Culture Collections acknowledges the potential value of its products in commercial applications. To address this, Culture Collections can enable organisations to use a significant number of our products for commercial purposes under the terms of a non-exclusive licence agreement.

The licensing for commercial use of Culture Collections products, together with the supply of samples for research purposes, both play a vital role in ensuring that Culture Collections can continue to provide its full range of biological samples to support the scientific community.

If a customer requires a ‘Commercial Licence’, please contact us at culturecollections@ukhsa.gov.uk
