== ATCC ==

ATCC is a private, nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization whose mission focuses on the acquisition, authentication, production, preservation, development and distribution of standard reference microorganisms, cell lines and other materials for research in the life sciences.

ATCC was established in 1925 when a committee of scientists recognized a need for a central collection of microorganisms that would serve scientists all over the world. ATCC activities are housed in a Manassas, Virginia facility, since 1998.

ATCC maintains nearly 4,000 cell lines for public health research, including lines used for the study of cancer, such as HeLa cells, as well as over 70,000 microbial cultures. The items on their repository have been used for the discovery, invention, and development of new, improved and emerging advances in the biological sciences arena.<ref>{{REFweb

== Life Technologies ==

Life Technologies, a Thermo Fisher Scientific Brand, offers Human Dermal Fibroblasts, neonatal (HDFn) part number C-004-5C, described as primary human dermal fibroblasts isolated from neonatal foreskin, cryopreserved at the end of the primary culture, for research use only. Cryopreserved HDFn are intended for use by researchers investigating the molecular and biochemical bases of
various normal and disease processes. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.<ref>{{REFweb

Life Technologies, now a brand of Thermo Fisher Scientific, traces its roots back to 1962 with the creation of Grand Island Biological Company (GIBCO) in Grand Island, New York, making serum harvested from horses raised on their land. The original Life Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Dexter Corp., was founded in 1983 by the merger of Bethesda Research Laboratories, Inc. and GIBCO Corporation. In 2000, Life Technologies was bought out by Invitrogen. Eight years later, following Invitrogen Corporation’s acquisition of Applied Biosystems Inc., Invitrogen renamed itself, creating the new Life Technologies Corp. In 2014, Life Technologies became the fourth premier brand within Thermo Fisher, the world leader in serving science.<ref>{{REFweb

According to PromoCell's website, the tissue used by PromoCell for the isolation of human cell cultures is derived from donors who have signed an informed consent form (this being done by the donor himself, an authorized agent, or a legal agent) which outlines in detail the purpose of the donation and the procedure for processing the tissue. We do not accept or use any tissue without prior signing of the consent documents.

When obtaining and using human tissue, PromoCell acts in strict compliance with

* "The Convention for Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with Regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine: Convention of Human Rights and Biomedicine" published on April 4th, 1997 by the Council of Europe (European Treaty Series – no 164).

* "The Human Tissue Act" published on November 15th, 2004 by the government of the United Kingdom. This act aims to make consent a fundamental principle underpinning the use and storage of human tissue.

* "The Declaration of Helsinki" developed by the World Medical Association as a statement of ethical principles to provide guidance to physicians and other participants in medical research involving human subjects.

* "German Federal Data Protection Act“ to protect privacy of donors.<ref>{{REFweb
