Searchable STR Database for Human Cell Lines Enhanced

As part of our continuing efforts to characterize and authenticate the cell lines in the Cell Biology collection, ATCC is developing a comprehensive database of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA profiles for all of our human cell lines.

Enhancements include:

  • Updated algorithms that provide more specific results
  • Search results that can be sorted by percent match, ATCC number, designation or STR loci
  • Excel-exportable search results

Please note that users must login to the ATCC website to gain access to the STR Database Profile.

Pooled Primary HUVECs
Large lot sizes, cost effective. New from ATCC, normal primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (PCS-100-013) are derived from 10 unique donors. A pooled population minimizes the lot-to-lot variation associated with single donor primary HUVECs (PCS-100-010) and yields large lot sizes. Large lots assure consistency for large scale studies and cost-effective pricing makes these studies using primary cells newly affordable. Use with Vascular Cell Basal Medium and one of two Endothelial Growth Kits to maximize growth, enhance functionality and maintain normal morphology.

View – free webinar
Real-time,  label-free cell monitoring: Overcoming the limitations of endpoint analysis. This BioTechniques webinar – presented on Monday, October 18, 2010 at 12pm EDT, 9am PDT – is sponsored by Roche and features research conducted by ATCC scientists. Click here to view!

 

Abstract: Cell analysis using endpoint assays commonly relies on labels, reporters, or dyes, and can be limited to measuring cell response at a single time point. Additionally, this approach can present technological challenges and involve labor-intensive protocols when used to investigate dynamic cell responses. Impedance-based cell monitoring allows for label-free, non-invasive detection of cellular response in real time. This technology enables more comprehensive cell response profiles and physiologically relevant data to assess cell behavior for a broad range of applications.

In this webinar, you will:

  • Learn about a wide range of research applications utilizing real-time label-free cell analysis
  • Discuss the advantages of using a single, non-invasive assay to continuously monitor changes in cell morphology and adhesion in response to multiple signaling pathways
  • Hear about the application of real-time label-free technology to develop and optimize cellular assays as well as improve cell characterization
