In collaboration between BCC (BIOTEC Culture Collection) and Information Systems Laboratory, we aim to increase awareness of BCC and facilitate access to information and biological materials developed at BIOTEC Central Research Unit to the scientific community. To reach our goals, we have implemented an online services for (1) a unified access to BCC catalogues by providing a website called e-BCC where all researchers can search, browse and order strains of their interest in a mouse click and, (2) a strain access control system that BIOTEC researchers can submit their requests to block particular strains from being online catalogued within a specific time duration for their research purposes.

e-BCC website was built on IIS using ASP and Microsoft SQL Server. e-BCC has been available for public at http://bcc.biotec.or.th
