Scientists from Duke University Medical Center in the US and the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering in Germany used Brooks’ XSD-48Pro as part of an automated GCLP-compliant system for HIV research.

In an independent publication, researchers cited Brooks Life Sciences CryoPod™ Carrier as an effective tool to prevent temperature excursions when stocking and retrieving frozen biological samples.

Disaster recovery plans with multiple backup systems are essential for all professional biostorage and research facilities. And freezer type can make the difference between complete sample loss and maintaining biomaterial integrity.

Storage and distribution of cell therapy products needs to be impeccably organized to positively impact patient health, with cold chain-of-custody guaranteed at all stages via automated workflows.

Modern biomedical research relies on a variety of quality biospecimens annotated with precise and detailed metadata. Consequently, biorepositories must secure excellence in all operations and convey this information to their customers.

IL8 and IL16 levels can be used to assess the quality of serum and plasma samples.

Outsourcing sample preparation can save time, reduce experimental variability and lead to faster discoveries.

For over a decade, institutes have recognized that sample quality affects laboratory test results. This is especially critical in the fast-growing field of precision medicine.
