Why Choose These Services?

When cell lines are contaminated, researchers deal with the loss of time, materials, money and more. Contamination can also lead to research delays which in turn can affect grant applications. Avoid these issues by making sure to authenticate cell lines whenever possible. IDEXX BioAnalytics can help with their CellCheck services. They provide data analysis and interpretation, misidentification detection, and even the option to choose a contamination recovery plan.

To avoid harmful contamination to humans, IDEXX offers h-IMAPCT. This service screens against human pathogens and tests the identity and health of your cell lines so you can ensure there are no health risks in your lab. They also offer IMPACT, a service for rodent pathogen testing.

IDEXX also offers STAT-Myco testing, an exquisitely sensitive real-time PCR assay that can detect species not detected by commercially available kits. Features include:
* Detects as few as 1 – 10 organisms
* Detects all species of Mycoplasma known to infect cell cultures
* Detects a number of Acholeplasma spp., a member of the Mollicutes class that can contaminate cultured cells
Choose STAT-Myco to be confident your cell cultures are not contamined by Mycoplasma.

In preclinical cancer investigation, discerning the proportion of a sample that originates from humans as opposed to mice is crucial for uncovering treatment-related results. This ratio is used in selecting tumor fragments with the utmost percentage of human tissue for cryopreservation and subsequent passages, ensuring valuable insights for future research. IDEXX’s Confirm PDX helps to quantify this human to mouse ratio, allowing researchers to understand the comprehensive overview of the genetic makeup of their tumor cells.

IDEXX also offers Sterility Testing. This service uses MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry technology to give insight into the source of contamination in 14 days or less. Sterility testing includes:
* Animal-derived (passage in animals)
* Personnel
* Reagents
* Airborne
* Other environmental sources
