Cell banking
Save time and resource: outsource your cell bank management
Make use of our streamlined processes for daily access to your working bank of cells. We provide next-day dispatch and receipt of samples for cell banking with our simple and straightforward processes.
It is well documented that whilst cryopreservation remains the primary method of choice, long-term cellular viability is dependent upon an optimised freezing, thawing and recovery process. We use the latest technologies and have optimised our cryo-handling procedures to ensure sample integrity.
Next day despatch as standard
We provide next day despatch and receipt of samples for cell banking with our simple and streamlined processes
This enables our customers to either store their Master or Archival cell banks with us or utilise our services as their primary Working Bank – giving the whole team daily access to samples.
We can even implement a routine quality control testing process for you, providing the assurance you need that your data is of the highest quality.
All cell bank samples are stored on our HIPPA compliant, secure, fully auditable laboratory information management system (LIMS).
Full cell bank sample visibility
There’s nothing worse than validating your high-throughput screening assay on a specific cell bank, only to find out a colleague has used up the remaining vials of that bank to run a Western Blot and other cell banks for whatever reason just don’t work quite as well.
That’s why Biofortuna customers have full visibility of their samples through inventory reports. Individual cell banks can also be reserved for specific members of staff if required.
