ABSTRACT
Embryonic stem cell bank is a cornerstone for stem cell research. It is providing essential resources to support advances in research in this challenging field that promises broad-ranging cell and tissue therapy. It is important to make good quality and well characterized embryonic cell lines that will be available for both research and clinical purposes. This article provides a concise summary on embryonic stem cell banking processes from cell line characterization, storage, quality assurance, safety testing, distribution, and post-distribution monitoring. It also states the importance of an international network and collaboration for technology and knowledge transfer Moreover, the Bank should play a substantial role as a national reference and a training center for stem cell research.
