Repository

The Foundation maintains a repository of critical reagents to facilitate research to qualified applicants. Interested applicants should send a description of how you would use the reagents to the Foundation Scientific Director Dharam Ablashi. (Dharam_Ablashi@HHV-6Foundation.org) If you request is approved, we will make these reagents available for free or at a modest price plus shipping. Some of the more popular reagents are available at companies such as Advanced BiotechnologiesInc., Panbio, Chemicon, Biotrin, and Bioworld Consulting Laboratories. Click here to see a summary of the reagents available commercially.

Additionally, if you have a reagent that you would like to share with other scientists, you can donate to the repository. The repository was generated through the donation of reagents by various investigators.

For more details please contact Laura Hruska, the coordinator for the repository.
