• Companies developing in vivo and in vitro research models
• Molecular diagnostic companies
• Regulatory agencies
• Vaccine manufacturers
• Universities and other nonprofits

Our vast collection of cells and microbes makes us a unique partner for your cell and microbial needs. For nearly a century, we have preserved biological materials and we have the extensive experience in biospecimen storage and cGMP storage to safely store your valuable biological materials. ATCC offers intellectual property management services and an international patent depository service. Learn more about ATCC Services terms and conditions.

Each scientific project is unique, which is why we tailor our custom services to your needs. We can help you develop, characterize, manufacture, store, and supply a variety of custom cell lines and microbes for your research, industrial, and clinical applications.

"It was very easy for me to prepare the STR sample, since I was only spotting my cells onto FTA paper. I was satisfied with delivery time. It took only 1 week to receive a result of STR by email. I used 2 kits for 2 cell lines, both of which are provided from other laboratories. As results, one was matched A cell line with 100% and the other was B cell line with 87%. My B cell line has been passaged many times that may be occurring gene drift etc. so I felt that it is important to perform STR for own cell lines regularly."

Chordoma Foundation

"Our partnership with ATCC has simplified and accelerated the way we get new chordoma cell lines to researchers. Their professional staff has demonstrated a high level of sensitivity to the quality control issues unique to our disease. By eliminating one of the key barriers standing in the way of medical progress – lack of valid cell lines – interest in and support for chordoma research is growing."

- Patty Cogswell, Chordoma Foundation

The Rare Cancer Research Foundation

"The high standards of authentication, preservation & distribution are key reasons we’ve chosen to partner with ATCC to preserve & distribute rare cancer cell lines. The responsive and collaborative nature of our interactions have provided a strong basis for a long-term partnership between ATCC and the Rare Cancer Research Foundation (RCRF)."
