Cell Line Deposits

CellBank Australia offers a range of deposit-related services involving the transfer of cell lines to CellBank Australia for storage in our secure, liquid nitrogen storage facility.

Catalogue Deposit

Research scientists can make their novel cell lines more widely available for research purposes by depositing them with CellBank Australia, through our Catalogue Deposit service. Deposited cell lines are subject to short tandem repeat (STR) profiling and other quality control checks before being made available for global distribution, at no charge to the depositor.

Patent Deposit

Through our Patent Deposit service, CellBank Australia accepts human and animal cell lines and hybridomas for storage to supplement written disclosure of an invention with international patent offices. Deposits are stored for the full period specified by the Budapest Treaty and are furnished (released) to authorised parties as required.
