This set of Institutional Best Laboratory Practices is designed for the authentication of cell lines and tissue samples used in biomedical research. The document sets out four best practices, which include: Verification of cell line identity via the Cellosaurus and ...

This document was written to set out the essential steps for authenticating human cell lines. The Guide focuses on short tandem repeat (STR) profiling, as a widely used and accepted authentication method.  The Guide includes sections on: Preparing starting material for ...

This document was written to set out the essential steps for authenticating mouse cell lines. The Guide focuses on short tandem repeat (STR) profiling, as a widely used and accepted authentication method.  The Guide includes sections on: Preparing starting material for ...

This document takes the most important things a scientist needs to know about authenticating cell lines and squeezes that information into three pages for quick and easy reference. The document summarizes what you need to consider: Before starting a research project that ...

The seminar slides are designed as a short, engaging presentation about cell line authentication. Topics include why authentication is important, the impact of misidentified cell lines, and a brief description of STR profiling. At the end of the slide deck ...

The training module is designed to explore various aspects of cell line authentication. Three separate slide decks are included, courtesy of Bio-Trac and in memory of Roland Nardone. Human Cell Line Authentication Discusses why authentication is necessary, when to test, ...

On the world wide web, authorized sources offer human cell lines that may be used as model systems for addressing specific scientific questions. Such authorized sources offer unambiguous proof of the authenticity of these cell lines via STR profiling or ...

The Cellosaurus is a knowledge resource on cell lines. It attempts to describe all cell lines used in biomedical research. For each cell line (currently ~120,000) the Cellosaurus provides a wealth of information. ...

CLASTR is a STR similarity search tool that allows to compare one or more STR profiles from human, dog or mouse cell lines with those available in the Cellosaurus (~7000 profiles). ...

AuthentiCell allows you to search for similarities between your cell line samples and an extensive number of human cell line STR profiles stored in the database. AuthentiCell is a service provided by the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC). ...
