Human STR Profiling Cell Authentication Service
Short-tandem repeat profiling of cell lines is an easy-to-use way to authenticate/confirm the identity of your cells. STR profiling aids in the detection of misidentified, cross-contaminated, or genetically drifted cells, which invalidate research results. Our STR analysis meets all requirements for funding, publication, and quality control. On this page, order the human STR profiling service, learn how to submit your STR samples, or search our online STR database with the below buttons! Also, be sure to check out ATCC's new Mouse STR Profiling Service.
