Interspecies Contamination Only

This assay is designed to detect unintended species DNA contamination that may affect experimental validity and reproducibility.

Recommended for:

• Cell lines grown in shared laboratory environments
• Verification of African green monkey and Chinese hamster cell cultures

Detectable species include: Human, Mouse, Rat, African green monkey, Chinese hamster

10⁶ cells/cryovial,

30 mg tissue, solid tumor, 150 ng DNA

Interspecies Contamination Only PLUS

Interspecies contamination screening combined with Mycoplasma spp. detection.

Provides a broader cell health assessment by screening for:

• Cross-species contamination
• Mycoplasma contamination

Ideal for routine cell culture quality control and validation workflows.

Detectable species include: Human, Mouse, Rat, African green monkey, Chinese hamster

CO1 DNA Barcoding

Confirms the cell line species of origin.

Utilizes the sequence data for approximately 660 base pair region of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene.

Complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidelines for species identification of animal cell lines.
