    Biobanking

    Protect and stabilize DNA at ambient temperature for long-term storage.

    As researchers strive to discover the causes of disease and identify potential treatments, the acquisition of high quality biospecimens is vital. Reliable long-term stabilization and storage of biospecimens is critical to the success of biobanks which strive to archive and distribute these valuable genetic resources.

    DNA Genotek’s products were designed with these challenges in mind by designing products to stabilize DNA at ambient temperature for extended periods of time, which simplifies sample storage and shipping. Valuable biological samples can be archived or banked at room temperature, replacing expensive and space consuming ultra low temperature (ULT) freezers and complex monitoring systems. In addition, samples can be shipped without the need for cold chain transport, enabling sample sharing between multiple locations.

    Features and benefits

    • Ambient temperature sample storage and transportation
    • Eliminate the need to invest in freezer units and additional storage space, reducing operational costs
    • Simplify shipping logistics and decrease costs with elimination of cold chain
    • Reduce packaging and shipping costs of samples with the elimination of dry ice
    • Shield samples from degradation and eliminate the risk of relocating specimens due to power failures
    • Reduce carbon footprint
