Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
The EMT6 cell line can be grown either in animals as a tumor or in tissue culture. Cells derived from tumors have a reported in vitro plating efficiency of 30%. Cell grown in tissue culture reportedly have a plating efficiency of 70%.

EMT6 was established from a transplantable murine mammary carcinoma that arose in a BALB/cCRGL mouse after implantation of a hyperplastic mammary alveolar nodule. The resulting tumor line (named KHJJ) was propagated in BALB/cKa mice and adapted to tissue culture after the 25th animal passage, and the cell line was named EMT. EMT6 is a clonal isolate of EMT isolated in 1971 at Stanford University. The EMT6 cell line can be grown either in animals as a tumor or in tissue culture. Cells derived from tumors have a reported in vitro plating efficiency of 30%. Cell grown in tissue culture reportedly have a plating efficiency of 70%.
