      Why is Cell Line Authentication important?

      The National Center for Biotechnology Information estimates that between 18-36% of all cell lines are contaminated, and the cost of irreproducible research is approximately $28 billion annually.
      Contaminated and misidentified cell lines can lead to:

      • Loss of valuable research time, materials, and animals
      • Wasted money & effort that could have been better used elsewhere
      • Research delays, dead ends, and distractions
      • Retracted papers or grant applications

      When should I authenticate cell lines?

      • Whenever you acquire a new cell line
      • Whenever you’re banking frozen materials for later use 
      • As a standard quality control measure during experiments
      • When cell line performance is inconsistent or results are unexpected
      • When starting a new series or experiments
      • When passaging cell lines
      • After creating a novel cell line
