License Agreement

Our online “research use only” click license, modeled after the NIH guidelines for tools, eliminates the need for traditional Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs). Procuring scientists agree to the license with one simple click during the check-out process. Their reagents can then be shipped immediately, no additional paperwork required.

The full text of the license agreement is available below and in PDF format.
