Cell and Microbial Authentication

Cell and microbial authentication is of the utmost importance. Skipping the authentication step can lead to lost time, money and publications owing to cross-contamination and misidentification. ATCC can quickly and easily help you confirm the identity of almost any cell or microbe using a range of analytical techniques. We offer the following standardized services:
