Departments may place all orders valued at $10,000 or less (Biosafety Level 1 and 2) directly with ATCC. Depending on the ATCC material being ordered, ATCC may sometimes require the University to sign an additional Material Transfer Agreement for items such as the Geron-hTERT and Angio Ready products.
ATCC Ordering Instructions
- DO NOT include shipping as a separate line item on ATCC purchase orders. Unfortunately, ATCC receives many orders with shipping listed as a unique line item and this delays order processing. ATTC will apply shipping as a separate charge on the resulting invoice.
- DO NOT include the prefix of “ATCC” as part of the ATCC catalogue, item, SKU or part number in your PantherExpress System purchase order. Enter only the ATCC number as this will expedite order processing.
- When submitting a requisition to ATCC via the PantherExpress System, the distribution type will default to cXML, which is an electronic purchase order distribution method. It is important that you do not modify the default order distribution method such as unchecking the default checked boxes, checking any additional boxes, and/or entering fax numbers or email addresses. Modifying the default distribution type will result in duplicate orders and charges which the department will be responsible for paying since ATCC orders are not returnable. Review the following example of the default distribution method in the PantherExpress System:
