Depositor Distribution Lot cells are expanded from vials of provider cells. Cells distributed by the National Stem Cell Bank are intended for research purposes only and are not intended for use in humans. These cells have undergone extensive testing and are not known to harbor any human pathogens or adventious agents of murine, bovine, or porcine origin. However, appropriate biosafety precautions should be followed when working with these cells. The end user is responsible for ensuring that the cells are handled and stored in an appropriate manner. The NSCB is not responsible for damages or injuries that may result from the use of these cells.

Electronic versions lot certificates (CoAs) complete with electronic copies of individual reports, results, and procedures are available on our website, www.nationalstemcellbank.org. There are also archived CoAs for past cell lots.
