"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."
