Facilitating FR3 Orders
All parasite and molecular orders must be placed through the website, using the electronic forms. To be safe, please download your order confirmations in .pdf format and store them in case there are problems in transmission. Should you encounter any problems, please contact the ordering person at the facility (Parasite Resources or Molecular Resources) that you are using, and have a copy ready in case they need it to process your order.
