Abstract
Molecular diagnostic assays are powerful tools in clinical oncology and infectious disease. Development and validation of these assays rely on authenticated biological models and reference-quality genomics data to ensure accuracy and reliability of results. As your end-to-end partner for the development and control of diagnostic assays, ATCC supports each stage of your workflow with authenticated cell models, microbial strains, and derivatives that are backed by whole-genome sequencing data and bioinformatics analyses. Through targeted acquisitions and our own internal research and development efforts, we are able to provide the advanced models you need for evaluating limit of detection, inclusivity, and cross-reactivity.
