Research with confidence.
Sound science requires confidence—the kind of confidence that comes from knowing your cells and biological materials are fully authenticated and contaminant-free.
IDEXX BioAnalytics is your partner for sound science. Many of the leading academic and biopharma labs in the world rely on our comprehensive suite of testing services to validate the cells and biological materials that are essential to their research.
CellCheck™
The industry’s most comprehensive cell line authentication and interspecies contamination testing
CellCheck cell line authentication services and interspecies contamination testing provide the assurance you need to move forward confidently. When you make CellCheck a part of your laboratory protocol, you put an end to wasted budget dollars, misspent time and effort, frustrating delays or dead ends, and can breeze through funding and publication cell line authentication requirements.
CellCheck Cell Line Authentication
We make cell line authentication simple. We take your cryovial, provide data analysis and interpretation, and even provide a contamination recovery plan, if necessary. Plus, CellCheck detects not only contamination but also misidentification, so you can be 100% confident in your results.
Mycoplasma spp. testing is also available along with any CellCheck profile. Send us one sample and get all the results you need.
Interspecies Contamination Testing
All CellCheck testing includes a separate PCR-based assay to detect interspecies contamination of cell cultures. It is also offered as a stand-alone test for common cell culture species, such as African green monkey and Chinese hamster cells, where no STR-based profile is available.

STAT-Myco™
Your best defense against Mycoplasma contamination
Mycoplasma infections are extremely common within cell culture facilities. Resistant to antibiotics and, all too often, undetectable to the naked eye, Mycoplasma can easily spread to other cultures or between labs from the sharing of cell lines, incubators, or sterile hoods. Detect Mycoplasma contamination fast with STAT-Myco, a sensitive real-time PCR assay that can detect species not found in commercially available kits.

STAT-MycoTM Testing
Get uncommonly fast results to identify an all-too-common contaminant—with results in just three days. Our real-time PCR assay can detect as few as 1–10 organisms.
IMPACT™/h-IMPACT™
Rodent and human pathogen testing for a comprehensive biosecurity program
Minimize the risk of an outbreak and protect your people by testing your cells and biological materials for viral pathogens. IMPACT rodent pathogen screening gives you the right answer fast while providing you with the same level of security you look for when introducing animals into your vivarium. h-IMPACT testing screens against human pathogens to ensure that you are consistently delivering the best data while also minimizing the risk of health issues, violations, fines, and lawsuits.

IMPACT Testing
IMPACT offers a comprehensive biosecurity program designed for vivariums, and anywhere research mice are used, featuring 99% sensitivity (1–10 copy), high (12,000nL) PCR reaction volume to increase diagnostic performance, and automatic re-test of all positive results.
h-IMPACT Testing
h-IMPACT uses precise, real-time PCR technology to perform human pathogen screening, with 3–4-day turnaround, 99% sensitivity (1–10 copy), and automatic re-test of all positive results.

Sterility Testing
State-of-the-art technology for advanced microbial identification
Microbial contamination can appear in nearly 6%* of sterility samples. Using state-of-the-art MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, proprietary IDEXX Sterility Testing spans hundreds of genera of bacteria and fungi, giving you more insight into the source of contamination in 14 days or less.

ConfirmPDX
Patent-pending assay for measuring human vs. mouse DNA in a tumor
ConfirmPDX delivers fast, accurate, precise percentages of human vs. mouse cells in any sample with mixed populations—so you know exactly how much of each tumor sample is human and how much is murine. Based on droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) technology, ConfirmPDX testing is ultra-sensitive, delivering a precise ratio of human-to-mouse cells with 1% resolution.
