  • Cell growth: We can culture a variety of cells in different conditions and plates. Our most common cells, conditions and plates are listed above. Cells are closely monitored for growth, viability, and doubling time. They are also tested for mycoplasma routinely.
    Please inquire for special cases, as we can likely accommodate your needs.
  • Cell maintenance: We can maintain flasks with weekly maintenance to feed into any further requests necessary for your research.
  • Cell bank generation: We can generate cell banks from freshly purchased cells. Again, our listed vial and cell number can be adjusted to your research needs. Please contact us.
  • Cell storage in LN2: Any cell banks generated by the Bridge Cell Culture Core can be stored in our LN2 Dewar as long as you need them.

Please feel free to call us at (213) 740-8634 for additional information or questions.
