HOW TO ACCESS AGRE BIOMATERIALS

In order to place biomaterial orders or access any AGRE online phenotypic data, researchers should complete an Access Application and the Researcher Distribution Agreement. The Access Application and the Researcher Distribution Agreement are available online here.

The completed Access Application and signed Researcher Distribution Agreement should be returned to AGRE (with a copy of an IRB approval or exemption letter) for review. The application will then be forwarded to the AGRE Researcher Review Committee. Approved researchers will be assigned a username and password within two weeks, which can be used to access all data on the AGRE website.

All requests for biomaterials should be made directly to the AGRE Collaborations Manager, Ryan Butler, at research@agre.org. Researchers should email a spreadsheet with the AU family codes, the HI cell line identifiers, and the type of biomaterial requested (i.e., DNA, cell lines, or plasma). In addition, the researcher should fax a purchase order to the Collaborations Manager at 323-931-1977. The researcher must provide the correct shipping and billing address for the order. Please note that serum is not available for all samples.

AGRE offers quality samples at competitive prices. Shipping charges will be added to the total cost of the samples. An invoice will be mailed upon release of the samples (to be paid within 30 days).
