Make a Deposit
To deposit materials related to a patent, please contact our Patent Depository for the appropriate forms. ATCC also offers Safe Deposit services for storage of proprietary materials.
To deposit materials into our general collection, please contact a scientist before sending your materials. ATCC welcomes deposits of valuable research materials and our goal is to have a broad and comprehensive collection. Unfortunately, owing to limited resources, we cannot accept for accession all materials that may be offered. Read a further explanation of our acquisitions philosophy.
General collection deposit forms for different types of materials (listed below) are provided to facilitate the deposit process. The deposit forms can be downloaded using Adobe Acrobat Reader. ATCC numbers are assigned in accordance with our new numbering system.
Note that depositors are ultimately responsible for the shipment of deposits to the ATCC and compliance with all applicable government regulations for the packaging and movement of the material.
