At ECACC we make every effort to ensure your cultures arrive in a satisfactory condition and take great pride in the service we offer to the scientific community.
ECACC policy is one of continuous quality control to ensure cultures reach you in the best possible condition. Consequently, all cell cultures from the ECACC have been extensively checked for microbial infections and are fully authenticated. However, should you receive cultures which are not entirely satisfactory, please complete the form below and overleaf and return to us within 30 days of shipment (preferably faxed).
Please Note: Growing cultures are despatched in antibiotics (penicillin 100IU/ml and streptomycin 100µg/ml) as an extra precaution, although we do not routinely use antibiotics in tissue culture. We recommend that you maintain a back-up flask in antibiotics until you have made a token freeze.
Also, we recommend that a stock of the cell line should be frozen as soon as possible after receipt at approximately 2 x 106 cells/ml to prevent loss of cells.
Please complete the following as fully as possible to enable us to service your request promptly.
