Disease and normal cohort collections
ECACC aims to help researchers in their investigation of disease by proving the tools required for quality, reproducible research. This includes supporting large patient cohort studies, providing services for PBL preparation and storage, and EBV immortalisation. ECACC also supplies authenticated cell lines for research including disease specific and control collections and iPSC collections.
