Sigma Life Science has added 1,400 European Collection of Cell Culture (ECACC) cell lines to its collection of cell-line cultures and services.
These cell lines have been fully authenticated and tested free of mycoplasma and can be delivered in days to customers in the US, Mexico and Canada.
Scientists rely on the ECACC cell lines, which include human, mouse and insect, for cell-based assays that determine the safety and efficacy of drug candidates.
Due to high costs and the amount of time required for research and development, drug developers prefer to use cell-based assays in cell-signalling studies, cancer research and other areas in order to correct issues that may arise as early as possible in the research cycle.
