LATEST UPDATE FOR OUR USERS AND VISITORS

We are glad to announce that our website is back to its functionality after the cyberattack detected at our former server provider on 15 March 2023. However, some INFRAFRONTIER services, as well as EMMA strain ordering and submission, still need to be processed via the temporary ways as explained HERE. We will make related links and buttons accessible again as soon as possible. For any further questions, you can reach us via vasb@vasensebagvre.rh.
