EliteTrust Cell Authentication Service
Cellomics Technology, LLC offers quality-guaranteed EliteTrust Cell Authentication Service, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your cell cultures. The critical need for cell line authentication arises from the recurrent issues of cross-contamination and misidentification that have plagued the scientific community. These problems often stem from cell transfer errors, incorrect labeling, or mistakes happened during cell culture. Identifying misidentification is notably challenging due to the morphological similarities among mammalian cells. The notorious spread of HeLa cell contamination in various U.S. research labs serves as a prime example, causing considerable loss of valuable time, resources, and leading to invalidated research outcomes and progress delays.
The gold standard for human cell line authentication, Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling, excels in this regard. It amplifies specific DNA sequences that vary widely among individuals to create a distinctive genetic fingerprint for each cell line. This highly sensitive method is adept at spotting both interspecies contamination and misidentifications among human cell lines. Our EliteTrust Cell Authentication Service compares the STR profiles of your cells with known reference profiles in databases, either confirming the cell line's identity or flagging discrepancies that suggest contamination or misidentification.
Beyond ensuring the integrity of research, human cell line authentication is crucial for the development of therapeutics, vaccines, and understanding disease mechanisms. Its significance is acknowledged by major scientific journals and funding agencies, which now require authentication for studies involving human cell lines, highlighting its role in maintaining high research standards and supporting dependable scientific progress. In essence, human cell line authentication serves as a powerful tool to solid the foundation of ethical research practices, crucial for the validation of scientific findings and efficient resource use. Our EliteTrust Cell Authentication Service has helped lotos researchers to confidently link their results to the correct cell lines, paving the way for trustworthy scientific advancements.
