Ayan Chanda

Dear Isaac,

Your best resource to get a cancer cell is from ATCC. Also, they have a detailed guide for animal cell culture.

https://www.atcc.org/~/media/PDFs/Culture%20Guides/AnimCellCulture_Guide.ashx

I hope this helps.

Best,

Ayan

Isaac John Umaru

Yes thanks Dr

Arpan De

Agree with Dr. Chanda. ATCC has specific handling, storage and cryopreservation instructions for each cell type.
