We ship to many countries. Availability depends on the product and local import requirements. If checkout doesn’t offer shipping to your country, email odin@the-odin.com and we’ll check what’s possible. International shipping for CRISPR kits is typically around $75 outside North America.

Email your purchase order to odin@the-odin.com. Purchase orders are available to US institutions only. Orders paid by card are processed first, so if timing is important, paying at checkout is the fastest option.

It depends on the organism. If you’re new to genetic engineering, start with bacteria to learn culturing, sterile technique, transformation, and basic DNA work. SnapGene Viewer is useful for learning plasmid maps and DNA elements. From there, scientific literature and NCBI can help you identify genes and methods relevant to the organism you want to work with.
