Culturing biological materials can be difficult at times, even for experts in this field. With its expertise of more than 85 years in cell and microbial cultures, ATCC offers its cell lines (primary and continuous cell line) and Microorganism culture collection to researchers.
Heat inactivated virus provides safe use in BSL-1 environments
SARS-CoV-2 Washington strain is closer to the clinical sample than synthetic controls
Whole genome sequenced virus allows universal use on multiple platforms
Provides integrated solutions combining RNA extraction and amplification in one platform
ATCC Cell Authentication Service
'Test Your Cells, Trust Your Data'
What Cell authentication?
It is the authentication of a cell line and the demonstration that there is no contamination from other cell lines and microbes.
Using standardized techniques,
ensures you get valid, repeatable results.
The ATCC Authentication service is simple and affordable.

Why is cell authentication required?
Misidentified cell lines lead to invalidation of published results and a waste of time, money and effort. Verification of cell lines is now recommended by the NIH and many journals before they are approved and / or accepted for publication.

Common and difficult to detect mycoplasma contamination will invalidate your research
Cell lines may be misidentified, cross-contaminated, or genetically different. Get them tested to confirm authentication
Mouse cells may be misidentified, contaminated, or genetically different. Authenticate now to protect the integrity of your data
ATCC COLLECTION
The ATCC Cell Biology Collection is one of the largest bio-resources in the world and offers a complex array of human, animal, insect, fish and stem cells to choose from.
Primary Cells
It closely mimics the physiological state of cells in vivo and enables us to obtain data on living systems.
Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) immortalized cell lines represent an intracellular biology study that combines the in vivo nature of primary cells with the ability of a conventional cell line to survive in vitro continuously.

Mycoplasma Detection kit
As the smallest known free living organisms, mycoplasmas are relatively common bacterial contaminations in mammalian cell cultures. The Universal Mycoplasma Detection Kit offers a fast and sensitive PCR-based test.
Since rapid dilution decreases the viability, it should be diluted slowly after dissolving. Sudden dilution with DMSO causes osmotic shock, decreasing cell survival in half.
The MEM and EMEM formulation are not the same . The biggest difference between the two is in the non-essential amino acids in EMEM. Since ATCC only grows these cells in formulated EMEM, this cell line will be accustomed to EMEM.
Sudden changes in the areas where cells are acclimated can cause cells to go into shock or deteriorate their health. Make sure you always use the recommended media.
Floating cells should not be removed from the parent culture until it is certain that they are dead. This causes the cell density to drop below a critical value and the growth of the cells to be delayed.
The use of heat inactivated FBS when working with cell lines is not recommended unless specifically stated. The reason for this is that the heat inactivation of the serum destroys various cell growth and binding factors.
