The ECACC collections represent deposits of cell cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details
distributed by ECACC are accurate, ECACC cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where
quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore
further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and
ECACC does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.
Cell lines supplied by ECACC are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line. Please view the ECACC Terms & Conditions of Supply for more information.
