Cell Line Authentication

Techniques used to characterize and confirm the identity of a CELL LINE. Characterization involves authentication to verify that it matches the original description of the cells and ensures that they are not cross-contaminated with another cell line. This is done to avoid attributing data incorrectly to the wrong cell line.
