Protect Your Research Integrity with Cell Line Authentication
As a dedicated researcher in South Africa, you know that compromised cell lines can invalidate months of work and undermine scientific credibility. Our Cell Line Authentication DNA Test provides the definitive verification you need to ensure your biological materials are exactly what they claim to be. For researchers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, this test represents an essential investment in research quality and reproducibility.
What This Essential Test Detects
Using advanced STR (Short Tandem Repeat) DNA technology, our authentication test compares your cell line samples against international reference databases including ATCC and DSMZ. This sophisticated analysis confirms the genetic identity of your cell lines, detecting potential contamination, misidentification, or cross-contamination that could compromise your research outcomes.
Who Needs Cell Line Authentication?
This test is essential for:
- Academic researchers conducting long-term studies
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
- Clinical research organizations
- Scientists working with established cell lines
- Researchers preparing manuscripts for publication
- Laboratories maintaining cell culture collections
Why Authentication Matters for Your Research Success
Cell line misidentification affects approximately 15-20% of cell lines worldwide, leading to retracted publications and wasted resources. By authenticating your cell lines, you:
- Ensure research reproducibility and validity
- Protect against costly experimental failures
- Meet journal and funding agency requirements
- Build confidence in your scientific findings
- Save time and resources by working with verified materials
Understanding Your Authentication Results
We provide clear, comprehensive reports that detail the genetic profile match between your sample and international reference databases. Our expert team is available to help interpret results and provide guidance on next steps, ensuring you have complete confidence in your cell line’s identity.
Transparent Pricing and Exceptional Value
| Service | Regular Price | Special Price | Turnaround |
