Cell banking facilities
Investigators often obtain hybridoma cell lines from scientific collaborators or national cell repositories. When requested, we will:
- establish the cells in culture,
- mycoplasma test the cell line
- prepare cryopreserved stocks of known viability.
Test aliquots of hybridoma supernatants will be supplied to the user for testing, prior to bulk culture and immunoglobulin purification.
Mycoplasma testing of user-supplied cells using validated (European Pharmacopeia) PCR and broth/semisolid agar culture methods can also be provided as a service.
