Biorepository and Specimen Management

Biorepository Solutions to manage the entire lifecycle of your specimens

We provide two main biostorage solutions. Our Central Laboratory customers rely on us for their short-term storage needs. During the life of a study we hold specimens in short-term storage and send them where sponsors need them to go, based on study requirements via scheduled and unscheduled (ad hoc) shipments. In addition, we provide long-term storage solutions for both our Central Laboratory customers and others

Biorepository, Biobank, or Biological sample storage facility

A biorepository refers to the storage and management of biospecimens from animals, humans, and other living organisms and is sometimes called a biological sample storage facility. A biobank is a type of biorepository, that usually stores human biospecimens.
