RRRC Distribution Fees
RRRC distribution fees are intended to defray the costs associated with specialized rat breeding, genetic quality control, animal health monitoring, cryopreservation, customer service, technical information and support, and maintaining updated scientific information on all genetically-altered rats within the RRRC program.
Distribution fees are in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of shipping and container charges and additional charges for any special handling or services. There is a process fee of $400 for all international orders.
Institutions requiring the RRRC to set up system accounts for processing of invoices will be charged administration fees to cover the cost of set up ($50) and processing of each invoice ($25). Administration Fees should be included on PO’s in order to expedite processing.
