Studies in high-impact journals continue to be retracted due to misidentified cell lines. Understand how the ANSI/ATCC ASN-0002 standard protects your reputation.
An alarming share of the cell lines used in academic and industrial labs is cross-contaminated or misidentified. The impact is direct: irreproducible data, retracted papers and regulatory harm to pre-clinical pipelines.
The international standard ANSI/ATCC ASN-0002 establishes 16+ STR markers as the identification baseline. At Base Científica we run this protocol with an average 10-day turnaround and issue a fully traceable report.
If your cell bank feeds regulatory studies, IVDs or advanced therapies, authentication is not a courtesy — it is a technical obligation.
