Cell Culture

One of Dr. Coriell’s many contributions to biomedical research was optimization of aseptic techniques to sustain human cells in culture, free from contamination. Today, the Coriell Institute continues our namesake’s legacy of demonstrated excellence in cell culture technology, having developed gold standard practices in cell line establishment, cell characterization and cryopreservation. With more than a half century of experience managing millions of vials of cells from an unparalleled breadth and diversity of human populations representing everything from presumed healthy controls through to the rarest genetic anomalies, you can trust us as your resource for cell culture services.
