Advancing Cell Line Authentication

Are your cell lines exactly what you think they are?

Multiple studies have shown that 20-35% of popular cell lines have been contaminated by intraspecies/interspecies cell lines, mycoplasma and/or viruses.

Did you know PCR-based STR profiling assays currently used for Cell Line Authentication (CLA) may not be able to detect up to 15% cross-contamination in cell cultures?

In this webinar, Dr. Sheng Guo, Executive Director of Systems Biology at Crown Bioscience discusses using deep sequencing for cell line and biosample authentication.

Watch this Webinar to Learn:

• How deep sequencing outperforms conventional Cell Line Authentication assays and provides increased sensitivity and accuracy.
• Limitations and challenges of current PCR-based STR and SNP assays for CLA.
• Case studies demonstrating the advantages of deep sequencing CLA compared to other conventional methods.
