Mission of the Culture Collection

The CCOS is the national public culture collection for microorganisms in Switzerland. We accurately characterize and provide these strains in high quality for research and industry applications. We offer you the right strain for your application and aim to become a main repository for cell lines, bacteria and yeast strains as well as their plasmids.

Based on the knowledge of the culture collection we provide our customers high quality services such as backup solutions in cryostorage, lyophilisation and analytical services. We aim to achieve customer satisfaction and thereby good collaboration with our customers.
