How would it feel to know that your vital biosample assets are safe, catalogued, well organized, and secure?
And how would it make you feel to know they are routinely monitored and available for use at short notice?
Biological sample collections are incredibly precious. They take a lot of time and money to collect and curate, often have huge personal value to the sample donor and are critical to results and credibility of both the scientific research and the team behind it. To protect the integrity of these samples for immediate and future use, it is vital they are managed and stored correctly. Unfortunately, this is not often considered during the planning of research projects when time and energy is focussed on the science itself, and this can create huge and expensive problems down the line.
Samples need stable long-term storage conditions to ensure they can be used for future research opportunities that arise as new and transformative analytical techniques come along. Unfortunately, many sample collections transition from scientific asset to maintenance liability. As freezers fill up (as they always seem to do) they consume valuable space in the laboratory. Old freezers are energy hungry and can consume up to twice as much power compared to newer models. What would happen if the freezer broke down? What is ‘plan B’ for those vital samples?
This webinar will examine the risks and offer some insights on how to transform your valuable collection from a potential liability into a long-term, future proofed asset that continues to drive scientific research. It will discuss different sample storage options and introduce you to new technology and innovation designed to give you the control and stability that protects your samples for the long term – and with a reduced carbon footprint.
