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. Whether you are moving a specific collection of biosamples or an entire laboratory, exacting logistics and inventory control must be included as part of […]

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 […]

What Is the Best Freezer Technology for Disaster Recovery Planning for Biomaterial?

Natural disasters, extended power outages, and equipment failures can destroy priceless biomaterial. Disaster recovery plans that include multiple backup systems are crucial for all biostorage and research facilities. In disaster scenarios, the choice of freezer type can make the difference between complete sample loss and maintaining biomaterial integrity. In the past, natural disasters such as […]
