Many research labs can rapidly provide collaborators with rapid samples of cells from their work. However in sourcing such research materials there are a number of critical issues that researchers should be aware of including potential microbial contamination, cell line cross-contamination, variation in ethical regulations in different regions and intellectual property issues. If not addressed properly each of these can lead to serious problems for the researcher. Stem Cell Banks committed to public supply of stem cell lines are valuable resources to enable researchers to obtain access to many different cell lines which have been subjected to minimum standards of quality control and best practice. This presentation will give an overview of the key issues mentioned above, how the UK Stem Cell Bank manages these and the international standards that are being developed for such biobanks.
