Partners with Universities Authentication Services – DDC

May 30, 2012 | Forensic DNA Testing, Science and Technology

DDC announced today its partnership with the Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department at Harvard University, among others, to provide authentication DNA testing services for cell lines used in research. These services are part of researchers’ strategic response to the new guidelines issued to combat cell line misidentification and contamination that have led to invalidated studies in human research.
DDC has provides STR cell line verification as well as mycoplasma detection services. It can also detect mouse feeder cell contamination. General recommendations for cell line authentication calls for testing in the following situations:
• When a new line is first established or received.
• As a control measure at the start of a new study and concluding a study.
• At least once every 6 months in active culture.
• Before freezing down for storage.
• When unexpected results occur.
For more information about this service, including order and shipping forms, visit our Cell Line Authentication page. DDC provides free shipping for sample sizes of 50 or more.

How DNA Testing Has Changed

1920s - Blood Typing In the early 1900s, scientists identified 4 different blood types in humans - A, AB, B, and O - based on the presence of certain proteins called antigens in the blood. This blood typing system, called the ABO system, provided doctors with crucial...

How Long Does Immigration Testing Take?

DNA testing is often required in immigration cases where a U.S. citizen is sponsoring the immigration of a relative and needs to prove to the U. S. Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS) or U.S. embassy or consulate that the person seeking to immigrate to the U.S. is...

What Do I Do with the Results of the DNA Test?

The results of your ancestral DNA tests can be used in a few different ways. Of course, the test will verify biological relationships you uncovered in your research. After DNA testing you will know that you are (or are not), in fact, biologically related to the family...
