RIKEN BioResource Research Center “Cell Bank” is announcing our 
new e-mail newsletter. 

===================================
- Partial Resumption of Bioresource Deposition/Distribution 
  Services at RIKEN BRC
===================================

Dear Users,

On May 20th, RIKEN BioResource Research Center (RIKEN BRC) resumed a 
part of the bioresource deposition/distribution services. We hope that 
the resumption of the services, although only partial, will contribute 
to your research and development activities. Please take advantage of 
this resumption of our services.

We wish to fulfill all your requests as soon as possible by the full 
resumption. However, our services are still being limited because the 
restrictions on numbers of workers and their working hours remain in 
effect in BRC. In addition, we cannot promise you on time delivery and 
deposition of bioresources because the unreliable situation of domestic 
and international transportation and also a slowed approval process for 
examination of the biosafety of bioresources. We would like to ask you 
for understanding the situation and your patience.

Please be aware that the resumption may differ among bioresources. If 
you have any questions regarding a particular bioresource for 
deposition/distribution services, please inquire the following Divisions 
in charge:

We ask for your kind understanding that this measure will contribute 
to containment of the spread of COVID-19, and we look forward to your 
continued support for RIKEN BRC.
