Lab Chemical Relocation: Hidden Risks and How to Avoid Them

Lab chemical relocation is common when facilities expand or research operations consolidate and can even be a routine step in a multi-site pharmaceutical workflow. The process may seem straightforward at first glance, but it’s more challenging than simply moving bottles from origin to destination. Every lab chemical relocation carries serious operational, safety, and regulatory risks […]

Why Biological Material Lab Relocation Requires Much More Than Boxes and a Moving Truck

When moving a laboratory from one location to another, you may be tempted to hire one moving company for the entire project. Desks and chairs, mass spectrometers and cryogenic freezers, stem cells and fibroblasts, all packed in the same truck. That should make things less complicated, right? Wrong. With any combination of high-value equipment, fragile […]

3 Things to Consider When Shipping Critical Biological Material in Large Volume Dry Shippers

Large volume dry shipper containers are commonly used in Life Science applications to ship large collections of biological material that need to be maintained at cryogenic temperatures. These specially designed containers utilize liquid nitrogen to keep material cold, while special absorbent medium helps prevent liquid nitrogen outflow. This feature maintains biological sample integrity while ensuring the safety […]

5 Things to Know About Lab Chemical Transport

Lab chemicals are an essential part of many research laboratories, and chemical transport is often a component of laboratory moving and maintenance. While many chemicals are harmless, some fall into the category of hazardous materials. Legal compliance when relocating potentially hazardous chemicals requires planning, care, and expertise in U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) regulations. Here […]

Cold Chain of Custody Management

You Need Dependable Cold Chain Expertise Reliable cold chain of custody management practices maintain the integrity of your sensitive materials, allowing you to produce consistent, top quality products. Whether you are moving an entire lab or just transporting a few samples, you can rely on our experience, skill and equipment to protect your materials and […]

4 Things About Lab Relocation You Need To Know

Moving a lab between facilities can be a stressful and expensive endeavor, especially if not done correctly. The combination of hazardous materials, delicate and often expensive equipment, and irreplaceable frozen samples pose a regulatory and logistical challenge for investigators. Consider the following points for a successful lab relocation: 1. You Need to Follow Regulations During lab […]

Safe Storage Temperatures for Biological Materials

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. The best storage temperature for a given biological sample or reagent often varies depending on […]

How to Maintain Biological Sample Integrity with Cold Chain-of-Custody Transport

Transporting biological samples must follow a strict chain of custody to preserve maximum viability and function. This is vital for all samples – but especially for those that are temperature sensitive. Protecting Precious Samples During Transport Whether you are moving a specific collection of biosamples or an entire laboratory, exacting logistics and inventory control must […]

Academic Biobanking: What’s Happening, and What’s in Store for the Future?

Academic biobanks support preclinical and translational research by collecting, storing, analyzing, and distributing biological samples and associated data to academic and industry researchers. And in fact, hundreds of academic biobanks have been established over the past decade to support the growing emphasis on personalized medicine, genetic and genomic research, biomarker identification, and companion diagnostic development.1 […]
