Biosafety level
We are able to process only BSL1 live cell samples.
Live cell requirements
Please strictly adhere to the following requirements for live samples:
- Cells are shipped at room temperature
- Shipment flasks are full to the brim with cell culture media (approximately 60 ml for a T25 flask)
- Flasks are shipped with solid, leakproof caps attached
- Additional flasks with filter caps are provided (1 per sample)
- Enough additional cell culture media is supplied in order to allow for sufficient media changes (20 ml per flask)
- Samples should be shipped to arrive at Cell Guidance Systems’ laboratories, two days prior to reaching 100% confluency. Samples should be in log phase at the time of fixing
- Samples should be in transit for no more than 24 hours, and reach us on a Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest
- Please do not send any samples without booking in advance
If you have any questions, please contact us by email at [email protected]. We will respond within one business day.
