Centralising your cryostorage: Security through connectivity

At the heart of every laboratory are its samples; precious, often irreplaceable assets that hold the potential for life-saving treatments and novel research discoveries. In environments ranging from fertility clinics to pharmaceutical labs, the safe handling and cryogenic storage of these biological materials is paramount. However, managing thousands of samples across multiple locations using fragmented systems can quickly become disorganised, unsafe, and non-compliant.

The power of centralisation

Consolidating samples into high-capacity freezers is the first step toward a more efficient facility. By transitioning to larger vessels, organisations can:

• Minimise risks: Reduce trip hazards, asphyxiation risks, and required floor space
• Optimise resources: One high-capacity vessel can hold the same volume as four typical smaller units, simplifying refilling and reducing running costs
• Enhance safety: It is significantly easier to implement robust health and safety measures, such as staff training and ventilation, at a single centralised site

24/7 remote monitoring

Centralised repositories require around-the-clock vigilance. Even minor temperature fluctuations can lead to sample deterioration or complete loss. Precision controllers, available from Biopharma Group* on the IC Biomedical LABS and Revolution series freezers, provide essential connectivity via server-based technology or Wi-Fi.

These emerging technologies enable the digitalisation of sample management, providing discrete alarm notifications and allowing users or service providers to remotely access controllers for immediate investigation and corrective action. Embracing these automated solutions helps your organisation save time, simplify regulatory adherence, and, most importantly, protect your research.
