Tissue Biobank

Services available

For many researchers in Sub-Saharan Africa, getting access to biomolecular materials is a big huddle. We receive donated strains and make them affordable in the sub-region. Our repository enable scientists to access a wide range of products from plasmids, viruses, bacteria, yeast and cell lines. This is especially so during the COVID-19 pandemic where scientists in the Sub-Saharan region need these resources to facilitate their research efforts.
