about atcc and cryosite

atcc

ATCC was established in 1925 when a committee of scientists recognised a need for a central collection of micro-organisms that would serve scientists all over the world. ATCC is a global non-profit bio-resource center that provides biological products, technical services, and educational programs to private industry, government, and academic organisations around the world. Their mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop, and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property, and standards for the advancement, validation, and application of scientific knowledge. ATCC houses the world's largest and most diverse collection of micro-organisms, cell lines and recombinant DNA materials and is acknowledged by researchers for its commitment to providing authentic research materials and standards worldwide.
