ATCC Partnerships

Partnerships drive innovation in life science research, which is why, at ATCC, we’re continuously searching for passionate, like-minded partners. Together, with life-science innovators like you, we are fulfilling our purpose to support researchers in advancing science and improving global health and safety as well as quality of life.

Here are a few noteworthy ATCC collaborations:

LGC Standards partnership

Our partnership with LGC Standards makes ATCC products and services more accessible to life science researchers throughout Europe and Africa. LGC provides these customers with permitting assistance, technical and shipping support, and superior customer service. A global leader in the life sciences with deep expertise, LGC maintains and supports more than 4,000 ATCC products in LGC facilities. LGC’s network of sales offices facilitate and accelerate the ordering and delivery processes for our customers in Europe and Africa.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) partnership

Scientists can confirm the identify of mouse cell lines to ensure the integrity of their research thanks to a partnership between ATCC and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). ATCC and NIST worked together along with scientists from 10 independent laboratories in the Mouse Cell Line Authentication Consortium to validate the ATCC mouse STR profiling service. The service uses the unique short tandem repeat (STR) markers identified by NIST and tested by the consortium for different mouse cell lines to validate the authenticity of any mouse cell line.

QIAGEN partnership

ATCC and QIAGEN have formed a partnership to provide the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries with reference-quality transcriptomes tied back to well-characterized, authenticated human and animal cell lines from ATCC. Through this collaboration, one thousand whole-transcriptome (RNAseq) datasets will be created each year for ATCC gold-standard cell lines and provided through the ATCC Cell Line Land database. This partnership enables the use of authenticated biological data sets to uncover new disease pathways and discover novel therapeutic targets.
