Federated and centralized biobanking are similar. But they're not the same. One has a major benefit.

Understanding the subtle difference between extractable and leachables is important when selecting sample storage tubes.

In any lab relocation everything balances on preserving the integrity of biological material. Most organizations call on an experienced partner to preserve sample quality during the move.

Organ donation is the first step in giving life and hope back to patients who are desperately waiting for a transplant. Securing a match between a donated organ and a patient is the next step.

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

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

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.

Careful planning with an experienced provider is the key to transporting biological samples and relocating your lab.

When you think about over one billion precious samples in more than one thousand biobanks around the world, it’s remarkable how biobanks maintain a streamlined operation to store and share crucial data.
