ATCC® provides the total solution
 for your primary cell culture . . . .

Cells: Primary cell cultures more closely mimic the physiological state of cells in vivo and generate more relevant data representing living systems.  We believe that quality research starts with quality materials and that’s why each lot of primary cells is checked to meet the following parameters. 

• Frozen at passage 1 through 3 to ensure higher post-thaw viability and optimal plating efficiency
• Guaranteed >50% cells are viable after thawing
• Tested to exceed population doubling specifications
• Tested for bacteria, yeast, fungi, mycoplasma and screened for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, and HCV at isolation

Reagents:  We understand that different types of primary cells require different culture conditions for optimal growth. To help customers achieve consistent and reliable results, we have matched and optimized each ATCC^® primary cell type with media, supplements, and substrates.

Information: To make it easier for our customers to find relevant information about primary cells, culture protocols, and applications, we have taken the lead and published the ATCC^® Primary Cell Culture Guide.

Expertise: With 87 years of experience, we have gained a great deal of knowledge and expertise about cell culture. In congruence with our mission to serve the biological research community, we have summarized a number of tips and techniques and made available on our website (Resources for Cell Biology).
