Cell Line Authentication Services from ECACC
Authentication of cell lines is important in scientific research to ensure that you are not working with cells that are misidentified, cross contaminated, or that differ genetically from the original stocks, as a result of genetic instability or drift. Authentication of cell lines is a fundamental part of good cell culture practice and is increasingly required in order to secure funding for research and for publication in scientific journals.
ECACC offer cell line authentication services for both human and animal cell lines.
