Chlamy Center ordering and end-of-year schedule
The Chlamy Center will not be processing nor shipping orders December 28 – January 20th. We will resume operations on January 21, 2025. Please plan accordingly. If you order CLiP mutants, they should be ordered before December 16th, everything else please order before December 20th to allow time for processing.
Shipping price increase for Chlamy Center orders
The Chlamydomonas Resource Center will need to increase FedEx flat rate shipping charges. We audit our shipping fees twice a year and unfortunately some of our users will see an increase. We do not make a profit on shipping and the University of Minnesota, where the Chlamy Center is based, receives a significant discount from … Continued
