There were several software packages available on the market, but none which provided a complete solution to manage samples, the sample source (in Dr Lindsay’s case – the patient) and the storage area. ...
Metabolomics presents several challenges that must be addressed to ensure reliable and reproducible results: Sample Complexity: Biological samples used in metabolomics, such as blood, urine, tissues, or cells, are inherently complex. ...
It wasn’t just during delivery that the cold chain was critical, but also at the various stops in the supply chain (such as hospitals, warehouses or research centres) where these samples would be stored for a varying length of time, depending on their final destination and other factors. ...
Ensuring the safety of research samples sometimes worth millions of dollars is critical, but mishaps still do happen. In a recent incident that resulted in the destruction of decades of groundbreaking research, a lab freezer containing vital samples was accidentally shut off by a cleaner. The catastrophic consequences of this event highlight the critical ...
Biorepositories provide secure environments that help ensure the integrity of the samples stored within, and allow researchers an efficient way to access the samples they need for their studies. How are Biological Samples Stored? Cryopreservation is the most commonly used method for freezing and storing biological samples. ...
The cryogenic process and cryo storage are ideal solutions for the storage of biological samples and ensuring cell viability over time.Storing a sample under cryogenic conditions requires careful preparation to minimise damage to the sample. Considerations must be taken when deciding how to prepare a ...
The storage process also allows hospitals to ensure they have enough blood on hand to meet the needs of their patients when they need it most.Storage of blood in blood bank cold chain ensures blood storage conditions are at the required temperature and that blood samples are maintained at the correct temperature from the moment they are taken ...
The vitrification process and freezing using liquid nitrogen are common methods used in the cryogenic freezing. Cryogenic Storage: Some samples can be stored at -80 °C, however it is most common that samples would be stored at -196 °C in liquid nitrogen storage tanks. ...
Did you know that almost 36 million people in the EU live with a rare disease and the number goes up to 350 million worldwide? These diseases are an important cause of chronic illness, disability, and premature death in children as well as adults. A rare disease is any disease that affects a very small percentage of the population. It has no single accepted definition; however, countries ...
Cryogenic Storage tank – where the temperature is maintained using a vacuum insulated tank and liquid nitrogen.Cryogenic storage tanks can be categorised by:Fill type- auto-fill or manual-fill Use- in the liquid phase, vapour phase or ‘dry system’ Sample type- for storing vials, straws or bags Sample quantity ...
Froilabo’s ultra-low temperature freezers provide a solution for exceedingly low temperature storage. Our ultra-low temperature freezers are used for the storage of drugs, vaccines, enzymes, chemicals, bacteria and other samples. ...
The Holiday season often brings mixed feelings for many. While it can be a time of relaxation with friends and family for some, for others, preparing for this time means ensuring business continuity despite a typical slow down. This can be a source of undue stress if it is not suitably planned for. ...
Keeping biologicals at low temperatures is an established and effective way of maintaining their potency. This is critical for many types of medicines, vaccines, reagents, and biological samples, which is the reason why laboratories, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and more employ medical-grade refrigerators to protect their samples from ambient ...

To safely store samples for research or clinical use, freezing procedures are used to arrest the degradation of biomarkers used for the identification of these diseases. However, the long-term stability of these molecules depends upon their long-term storage conditions provided by specialised equipment depending on the storage temperatures ...
Being able to slow down chemical reactions is of extreme importance in medicine once samples are obtained: blood bags and in particular red blood cell preparations kept at a temperature between 2°C and 6°C can be easily stored without the risk of it spoiling, thus allowing healthcare professionals to use the samples in a variety of ways. Similarly, once ...
In this study, human urine underwent thermal treatment during storage to improve disinfection and to inhibit urea hydrolysis. Microbial indicators such as Escherichia coli and fecal coliforms and the concentration of ammonia/ammonium were investigated in urine samples that were stored at 60 °C and 70 °C. Both the inactivation of indicators and decomposition of ...
To insure the consistency of the data from material tested by these guidelines, these agencies provide a number of BASIC requirements for the Instrumentation (spectrometers, chromatographs, software) and Sample Handling (collection, storage, preparation). Due to the highly SPECIFIC information derived from its Spectrum, the use of Infra-Red Spectrometer (IR) is ...
An inventory control system was clearly required and the hunt was on for a single cohesive electronic system that would be responsible for tracking and recording information on all of the samples in the CSU and subsequently for the majority of cold storage throughout the Institute. ...
