CLS Cell Lines Service was founded in 1998 in order to support the scientific community with respect to conserve cell lines. This cell bank (cell repository) covers about 500 cell lines, which have been isolated from various tissues, tumors and species, with the focus on human cell lines. Every year new cell lines are included into the cell bank, mostly by licensing in or by new cooperation. For more information regarding the cell lines of the CLS cell bank visit the SUPPORT page. Additionally, due to the conservation and quality control of the cell lines CLS GmbH has extended its skills and therefore offers a couple of services such as Mycoplasma testing or conducting transfections. Furthermore, CLS manufactures products out of the cell lines i.e. genomic DNA, RNA, whole cell lysates and snap frozen cell pellets.
We at CLS GmbH aim to support the scientists who are working in the Life Sciences, Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Medical Diagnostics in the daily routine using cell cultures.
