The US government contract funding the National Stem Cell Bank (NSCB) will end on February 28, 2010. Orders for cells to be obtained under the auspices of this contract must be received by the NSCB no later than close of business February 1, 2010. Orders should be placed through the NSCB website (www.nationalstemcellbank.org). All signed MOU/SLA agreements must be received by February, 19 2010. Please note that the National Stem Cell Bank is not able to take non-US orders at this time.

Starting February 2, 2010, these materials can be ordered from the Wisconsin International Stem Cell Bank (the “WISC Bank”) operated by WiCell Research Institute, for delivery after February 28, 2010. Terms and conditions for orders through the Wisconsin International Stem Cell Bank will be different than those previously applied to orders under the auspices of the NSCB.
