Manchester Brain Bank tariff<\/h1>\n

In line with a sustainable future for brain banking, the Medical Research Council and associated charities have introduced a cost recovery scheme for the provision of tissue.<\/p>\n

The tariff has been standardised and is being implemented across the\u00a0UK Brain Bank Network, of which Manchester Brain Bank is a member.<\/p>\n

All prices in the table exclude VAT.<\/p>\n

*Commercial users may incur additional charges, depending on the details of the request and constraints on the availability of suitable tissue.<\/p>\n

Please note that not all sample types listed are available from Manchester Brain Bank. Advice will be given upon receiving the tissue request.<\/p>\n

Payment can be made either by bank transfer<\/strong> or through purchase order and invoicing<\/strong>. If payment is made through purchase order and invoicing, it is necessary that a copy of your purchase order and a purchase order reference is sent to the Brain Bank Manager. The request will not proceed without this information.<\/p>\n
