Publicly available (qualified curator, collection management policies, microbial specimens, a database of collection information, an online strain catalog, and distributes strains to the scientific community)

Capacity to accept orphan collections

Upon examination of the detail of the collection. Acceptance will depend on the topic of the collection, quality of associated metadata, form of preservation and our capacity to accept these new strains (depends a lot on how they are preserved in the first place)
