COMT offers the possibility to use its laboratories to culture cells provided by the customer or available at COMT. Along with the Cell Culture Laboratories, the Centre offers access to a variety of primary cell cultures, mammalian cell lines and hybridomas. All cell lines used in the Centre’s Cell Culture Laboratories are assured to free of virus and bacteria. Investigators may cultivate their own cell lines and, in this case, a “Certificate of Analysis” to confirm the absence of contamination is needed.
Laboratories for Cell Culture and Cell-Based Assays are generally equipped with different optical microscopes and instruments for live-cell monitoring and for cell-based assays.
The use of some of the above, more sophisticated equipment may imply additional costs.
Capabilities of long-term storage of sensitive materials and cells are guaranteed with -80°C freezers and liquid nitrogen dewars for cryopreservation.
