Carts are capped at 50 strains.  Orders may not exceed US$2500.

International Processing Fees will be changing March 1, 2026

Costs associated with international shipping and handling have increased dramatically.

To help offset these rising costs, we will be replacing the tiered scale for international processing fees with flat fee of $1 per strain.

Effective March 1, 2026, the International Processing Fee will be assessed at the flat rate of $1 per strain ordered: $1 for one strain, $2 for two strains, $3 for three strains, and so forth. This fee will automatically be added to each order at checkout.

Orders placed through our website (cgc.umn.edu) prior to then will use the current tiered fee structure.

Please plan accordingly when generating purchase orders, etc.!

The CGC strain search program is currently configured for simple text searches.

"And" is assumed when multiple space-separated terms are used in a field.

Single term searches in the 'Strain' field accept the wildcard character ?, which means any single character.  The CSV button will return the entire search result as a CSV file download.

Please note: the full genotype for extrachromosomal or integrated arrays is not always present in the Genotype field. Thus, when searching for items such as gfp fusions, we recommend that you do not restrict your search to Genotype. Please search All instead.
