The Norwegian Culture Collection of Algae, NORCCA, maintained and owned by the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and the University of Oslo (UiO), includes algal strains from the two institutes and the former Danish algal culture collection SCCAP. The collection offers access to algal strains and growth media which can be ordered directly from this website. We ship globally material for education, research, innovation and business. A new website for the collection will be launched this winter, with updated information and taxonomy of strains.
Collection is closed between the 24th of December 2022 until the 4th of January 2023.
Important: this website will be closed from the 1st of January 2023, a new website www.norcca.scrol.net will be open for orders from the 13th of January 2023.
If you have any question, please send us e-mail culturecollection@niva.no.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We are looking forward to a further productive cooperation with you in 2023!
