How does the MR4 operate?
depositors and registered users. Expansion, validation and quality control of these reagents is done in collaboration with the depositor and the MR4. If there is a need identified for specific reagents which are not otherwise available, the Research Center has resources to develop such reagents. Registration of all users is required for acceptance of the MR4 terms of safe shipping, use, and material transfer. A catalogue of the reagents with full reference to the depositor and his/her relevant publications is published annually in PDF format. The most current listing of available reagents is posted and updated on the MR4 web site. Reagent information is accessioned in the web and catalog record and/or product sheets, in order to provide the origin and use of the material, often including references and protocols.
