It is essential that all new cell cultures entering a laboratory and all cell banks are tested for the presence of Mycoplasma, and two techniques be used, selected from a PCR-based method, indirect staining and an agar and broth culture.
Guidance on Good Cell Culture Practice
The aim of this Guidance on Good Cell Culture Practice is to promote the maintenance of high standards and to reduce uncertainty in the development and application of animal and human cell and tissue culture procedures and products, by encouraging greater international harmonisation, rationalisation and standardisation of laboratory practices.

This workshop report is considered a first step toward a revised GCCP 2.0 focusing on the increasingly diverse cell types and culture formats used in research, product development, testing and manufacture of biotechnology products and cell-based medicines.
Cryopreservation and Freeze-Drying Protocols
This book discusses Cryopreservation in ex situ conservation of Biological Resources and the role of Biological Resource Centres, as well as the process of Freeze-drying, and some of the techniques used.

Of the eight cell culture methods assessed, only the control and those based on two commercial media, mTeSR1 and STEMPRO, supported maintenance of most cell lines for ten passages, and the remaining media failed before this point due to lack of attachment, cell death, or overt cell differentiation.
