STR Profiling Services for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine
Cell Line Genetics offers three levels of STR Profile analysis—each level designed for specific stages of stem cell research including cell line derivation, propagation and long term culture. All services include STR profile storage in CLG's secure, encrypted, password-protected database for future profile comparison analysis, secure backup and real-time accessibility at no additional charge. Short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRs) are detected by utilizing Promega's PowerPlex® 16 multiplex STR system which detects STRs for 15 Codis loci plus Amelogenin—the same system used by the FBI and other government forensic analysis labs. Choose the service below that is most appropriate for your needs: STR100 (basic), STR200 (for existing lines), or STR300 (for new lines).
STR Profiling 100
Basic service for conducting database cross-referencing, profile comparisons and cross-contamination analysis in-house. Learn More
STR Profiling 200
Routine QA assay to detect mix-ups, profile drift and cross-contamination by STR profile comparison analysis.

STR Profiling 300
Designed to authenticate and establish the identity of new cell lines—includes ATCC, DSMZ, JCRB, and CLG data cross-ref analysis.

Did You Know?
-18 to 30% of cell lines sent to repositories were found to be misidentified
-Many peer reviewed journals require cell line authentication and karyotyping as a prerequisite for publication
From Our Customers
"Our lab has relied on Cell Line Genetics for stem cell characterization, authentication and custom services for over 3 years. CLG has consistently provided the level of service, expertise and turnaround our research efforts demand.
Cell Line's characterization and detection of polymorphisms of our non-human primate induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSC) was an important part of our research effort.
We value our relationship with CLG and look forward to our continued partnership."
