We perform Cell Line Authentication / Identification for you! Give yourself the peace of mind to know that your cells have been validated before publishing your results. Better yet -- make sure you identify and/or characterize your cells before spending time, energy, and money performing experiments with them. We offer human cell line identity verification using short tandem repeat DNA profiling (STR Profiling).
$100 per cell line for UC labs. Add 10% for LBNL and CHORI. Add 61% for others.
The service includes: Genomic DNA extraction, QC, PCR amplification of 9 STR loci plus Amelogenin using Promega GenePrint 10 System, Fragment Analysis with ABI 3730XL DNA Analyzer, comprehensive data analysis with ABI GeneMapper software and final verification using supplier databases including ATCC and DSMZ.
We start the CLA process every Thursday. Turnaround time: 3~5 business days.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING CELL LINES FOR FRAGMENT OR SHORT TANDEM REPEAT (STR) ANALYSIS:
For Cell Line Authentication -- PLEASE spin down the cells to a pellet and remove ALL of the media immediately prior to snap freezing (e.g., on dry ice).
Thank you very much for following these basic guidelines!
