Sample Storage and Cataloguing
Our service is one of the few accredited and NSW Health certified biobanks in Australia to store FFPE, frozen tissue and blood for use by researchers. While human biological samples are the primary sample type stored by our service we also have experience working with environmental and zoological samples.
Our staff are highly trained in the use of Laboratory Managements Systems (OpenSpecimen) to ensure that all samples are efficiently catalogued and stored to the highest levels of industry standards.
Operating with the OpenSpecimen system enables our team to manage our inventory with a professional and industry standard system.
Capabilities include:
- Development of bespoke collection and storage protocols
- Sample tracking
- Generation of inventory reports for efficient KPI reporting
Our current partners range from commercial trial consortiums to smaller heritage collections and we have experience with both national and international shipping protocols.
