Access Activities
EUPRIM-Net offers a variety of primate material that can be accessed via databases on www.euprim-net.eu. The installation of this large material bank supports and promotes scientists working in biological or biomedical research across Europe. Material banks can ensure a quick provision with samples and reduce the work of scientists to generate samples for their demand. In addition, a contribution to the 3R-concept is made as the number of animals needed is reduced by optimising the collection, distribution and characterisation of the samples.
A brochure on this Activity is available for download here.
If you are interested in material of one of our BioBanks, please follow the link of the database of your interest. There you will be informed about the ordering procedure:
PRIMOCID offers non-human primate animal models for immune-based disorders (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic organ dysfunction requiring organ transplantation and other chronic immune disorders) to evaluate new therapeutic approaches to deviate or suppress unwanted immune reactions.
Please contact Dr. Margreet Jonker (jonker @ bprc.nl) or enter the PRIMOCID website for more information.

User Information Form:
Please use this form only for the Gene Bank. The form (User Information Form, MS-Word document) samples all information necessary for the EU before primate material can be delivered. Your data will be treated confidentially.
For the Tissue, Blood and Serum Bank this information is gathered electronically on the Tissue, Blood and Serum Database.
Questionnaire:
To enable the European Commission to evaluate the Research Infrastructures Action, to monitor the individual contracts, and to improve the services provided to the scientific community, each group leader of a user-project supported under an EC Research Infrastructure contract is requested to complete the present "User Group Questionnaire". The questionnaire must be submitted once by each user group as soon as the material samples have been obtained. Please fill in the appropriate fields: User Group Questionnaire
