ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) is a nonprofit global biological resource and standards organization that acquires, authenticates, preserves, and distributes biological materials—including cell lines, microorganisms, viruses, and reference reagents—for research and industry. Founded in 1925, it maintains a large catalog of authenticated strains and cell lines and provides quality-control materials, genomic and phenotypic characterization, and biorepository services. ATCC supports academia, biotech, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and regulatory labs with standards, training, and custom services to improve reproducibility and compliance. Researchers rely on ATCC for rigorous authentication, traceability, and global distribution of reference materials.
