Reduce research variables by gaining a deeper insight into your animal's Microbiome with state-of-the-art analysis and data comparison.
• Easy sample collection—just 2 frozen fecal pellets required
• Quick turnaround in just 4 weeks or less
• Cost-effective and efficient
Microbiome analysis includes:
• DNA isolation—from all bacteria in the sample

Expect greater insight—from the experts in animal health monitoring.
The prevalence of Mycoplasma contamination in cell lines and cell culture is approximately 10 percent. Testing for this contaminant is important to ensure the quality of your research, to confirm the validity of your results, and to align with regulatory guidance for products derived from mammalian cell cultures.
STAT-Myco™ is a highly sensitive real-time PCR assay that detects as few as 1-10 organisms, detects all Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma species known to contaminate cell culture and many species not detected by commercially available kits. Results in just 3 business days.
Volume discounts available for as few as 5 samples. Please request a quote.
Microbial contamination of cell culture is not a rare event. In fact, client samples tested during 2014 had a microbial contamination rate of bacteria and fungi, upwards of 15%. Sterility testing detects a wide variety of aerobic and microaerophilic bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. Our proprietary cultivation capabilities span hundreds of genera of bacteria and fungi, with three profile offerings that exceed the US CFR Section 21 requirements. Microbial identification is also offered through the use of MALDI-TOF™ mass spectrometry state-of-the-art technology.
Three profiles are available:
Profile 1 - Direct Inoculation Method
Profile 2F- Membrane Filter Concentration Method (Complies with FDA Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations 610.12 [21CFR610.12])
Profile 2C - Centrifugation Concentration Method
Trust our industry-leading expertise for independent confirmation of quality, safety, and
authenticity of your biological materials to advance your research with confidence. We provide
an unparalleled breadth of biological testing services. A single sample is all that is required
for a myriad of testing profiles including rodent and human viral pathogens, microbial and
fungal contamination and cell line authentication using rigorously validated technologies
and methodologies.
IMPACT™ and h-IMPACT™ detect the presence of infectious agents in biological specimens to protect your research, your researchers and your reputation.
• Detects most prevalent and concerning pathogens
• Also detects Mycoplasma spp. contamination
• Results in 5 days or less
CellCheck™ is a comprehensive cell line authentication service that uses STR-based (short tandem repeat) DNA profiling and multiplex PCR to detect both contamination and misidentification. CellCheck detects inter-species contamination (human, mouse, rat, African green monkey and Chinese hamster) and establishes a genetic STR profile with data interpretation as well as comparative analysis for the detection of intra-species contamination.
When To Test
• When a new cell line is acquired or when banking frozen materials for later use.
• As a standard quality control measure at the beginning and end of experiments.
• As a standard quality control measure for cell lines in continuous use.
• When cell line performance is inconsistent or results are unexpected.
• To establish a genetic profile for a new or unique human cell line for which a reference profile is not available.
• Prior to publication in some journals or, as discussed in recent NIH notice, prior to grant applications.
CellCheck cell line authentication services are available for Human, Mouse, Rat, Canine, and Feline.

"They were efficient in providing a quote and made sample submission straightforward. They were very helpful in answering questions. The work was done quickly and efficiently. Would definitely use this service again."
"Quick turnaround time from submitting samples to getting the results. Have been able to arrange courier pickups easily."
"Excellent, fast service!"
"Biomarker analysis was provided by Kristi Garner and the team at IDEXX is excellent. Kristi is very responsive and knowledgeable in a great number of biomarker analysis."
"I was unaware that IDEXX rat and mouse cell line authentication service utilizes proprietary STR markers. Although the service provided a comparison to rat and mouse strains that was very useful for identification of the strain of origen for cell lines, the analysis does not serve the purpose of establishing a reproducible STR marker profile that others can use to verify that they are using the same cell line in the future. (However, in the future the same IDEXX service could potentially provide this information.) Because our purpose was to provide reproducible STR marker profiles for publication, IDEXX kindly agreed to repeat one of the analyses with a set of published STR markers, and did so in a timely fashion. Thus, in the end I was very happy with the service provided."
