Biorepositories must follow current best-practices and meet stringent regulatory requirements for handling and using of biological specimens.

Lab chemicals are an essential part of research laboratories, and chemical transport is often a component of laboratory moving and maintenance. Here's what you need to know.

Reliable cold chain-of-custody management practices maintain the integrity of sensitive materials, which enables you to produce consistent, quality products.

Placing a cryogenic sample in dry ice is like dropping an ice cube into boiling water, a temperature differential of around 90°C, coupled with the enhanced convection and conductive when sample tubes are placed directly in contact with dry ice can cause sample temperature to rise quickly. The temperature differential between a cryogenic sample and dry ice is around 90°C.

Moving a lab between facilities can be a stressful and expensive endeavor. Partner with an experienced lab mover for a smooth process.

Minimize risk and downtime when you move your lab with a comprehensive strategy and an experienced partner.

Using the word "shutdown" in the same sentence as research laboratory, academic facility, or pharmaceutical company seems absurd. But shutdowns are often necessary.

Good storage practices of biological materials is an essential component of any laboratory. Biological samples often degrade over time when stored at room temperature, but some samples may also lose integrity at low temperatures if subjected to multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Large sample collections come with a large amount of information. And those housed in biobanks must be stored with a unique identifier in both barcode and human readable form.
