Ordering / Delivery Information

Ordering of microorganisms

Strain cultures and DNA may be ordered using our Online Shop (preferred method) or by fax or email using the Order form. Order forms MUST be signed and any orders submitted without the form or signature will not be processed. (If your institution requires its own ordering format for administrative reasons, please submit the second page of our order form with accompanying signature.)

You have to register prior to your first online order. Subsequent orders require a login only. However, if your company has ordered from the DSMZ never before the order must be placed by letter mail or fax or scan, using your official business paper.

You are invited to browse our online catalogue in order to find the DSM number and the taxonomic name of the strain(s) you wish to order. Preferentially, add your choice(s) to the shopping cart.
