Information for potential iPSC line customers

The European Bank of induced pluripotent Stem Cells (EBiSC) is dedicated to supporting research through provision of a high quality, well characterised collection of hiPSC lines from a range of genetic backgrounds and reprogramming methods. To this end, we have implemented a robust and standardised approach to stem cell banking based on international best practice covering all stages from consent and procurement to distribution.
