Cell Banking Services
Exquisitely specific monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridoma cell lines are essential research tools that enable scientists to unlock their next scientific discovery. If lost or compromised, these hybridomas are impossible to replace. Therefore, it is vitally important that they are appropriately frozen down and banked for long-term storage.
Hybridoma cells in continuous culture are susceptible to microbial contamination as well as genetic drift, gene loss and gene mutations, which can result in changes to the binding specificity and antibody affinity over time. These problems are greatly reduced by using cryogenic preservation to stop biological time for cell cultures. You can reduce risk even further by banking cells at multiple facilities.
Bio X Cell offers cell freezing and cell storage options that help you preserve the specificity and performance of the antibodies you are producing as well as the assurance you have access to the exact hybridoma cells you need to keep your lab productive.
