Offers
Data portal services
We provide support for the installation, development, and maintenance of new and existing Symbiota data portals and their user communities. Symbiota is specifically designed for efficient and collaborative digitization as a collections management system, and as an open data exploration and publishing tool. To date, over 50 Symbiota portals have been used to mobilize 90 million biological specimen records from 1,800 collections worldwide.
Biosample processing and loan support
In connection with the NEON Biorepository, we provide support for project-specific bio- or eco-sample preparation, processing, storage, shipping, and related sample and data management and publishing.

BioKIC Services collaborates with all members of ASU's Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC) to meet the needs of specific requests. For more information about how this initiative relates to the Symbiota Support Hub, refer to our statement on Sustaining Symbiota Services.
Products and rates for BioKIC Services were produced in collaboration with ASU's W. P. Carey School of Business Center for Entrepreneurship.
