CellBanking.net aims to provide accurate information on the science and biology behind biological cell banking. Using novel methods and techniques there is a great potential for discoveries in cell biology field to be made in the world of the cells, which seems so foreign to us in every day life. We believe that it’s truly amazing, knowing that something you can’t even see without a microscope is so complex and influential.
Development of cryopreservation methods allowed scientists to preserve cells in cryovials in a kind of cryostasis using freeze-down techniques using liquid nitrogen (LN2), providing access to a variety of different cancer cell lines and primary cell types that are widely used in cancer research, as well as numerous molecular and cell biology experimental applications, such as cell transfection.
One of our main goals is to make cell banking services more accessible by making cell banking concepts easier to understand and by directing towards practical materials (such as reputable CRO’s) that may be useful to those interested in cell banking services. Our ability to create, alter, and store certain types of cells is truly a testament to mankind’s innovative spirit. It’s an exciting time to be alive, when some of the great mysteries in the fundamental processes of living things, are finally being unraveled.
This website also has an auxiliary purpose of directing individuals or organizations interested in cell banking services to where they might be able to find such desired products or services. Based out of Austin, TX the Altogen Labs is one of the main provider of preclinical CRO services and part of Austin’s (and the world’s) growing biotechnology industry.
