American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)

The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) is a global organization that collects, authenticates, and supplies biological materials such as microorganisms, cells, and viruses for research and development. Scientists and institutions use ATCC’s resources to ensure they are working with reliable, standardized samples for studies in medicine, biology, and biotechnology. By providing well-characterized biological materials, ATCC supports scientific progress, quality assurance, and reproducibility in research.
