Contamination of cell cultures by bacteria, viruses or other cells is a widespread problem in biomedical research. The company Multiplexion, a spinout from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ), checks cell cultures of clients from research institutes and companies for many different types of contamination and verifies the identity of cell lines. The test is quick and low-cost and contributes to quality assurance and reproducibility of biomedical research results.
