Cell Bank Characterization

ATCC provides a range of authentication testing services designed to ensure consistency and reliability of your research data.

Cell Bank Characterization Common Tests:

• Viability (e.g., trypan blue dye exclusion)
• Sterility (testing for the absence of bacteria and fungi)
• Mycoplasma (PCR and direct and indirect culture assays)
• Species ID testing (CO1 multiplexing and barcoding)
• Cell ID testing (STR profiling)
• Surface marker testing
• Other molecular assays (e.g., qPCR, ddPCR™, qRT-PCR, 16S rRNA, NGS and target sequencing, etc.)

If your cell bank requires unique assays/methods, we can develop those methods for you.
