Specimen Library Preservation
We convert biospecimens from an existing frozen collection into a lyophilized, room-temperature-stable format — reducing freezer dependency while preserving the nucleic acids, proteins, and other analytes your research depends on.
Talk to Us About Your CollectionEvery specimen library sitting in a −80°C freezer depends on one thing never failing — the freezer. A single compressor failure, a power cut, or years of routine freeze-thaw cycling during access can degrade or destroy specimens that took years to collect and can't be replaced. Cold storage also means ongoing electricity draw, backup generator commitments, and courier logistics that only get more expensive as a collection grows.
We review a representative set of samples from your library to understand analyte type, current storage condition, and what needs to be preserved through drying.
A pilot batch is lyophilized and tested for recovery, so you can confirm the dried format holds up before committing the full collection.
Confirmed specimens are converted in batches, each one documented, and returned to you in a stable, room-temperature-ready format.
It depends on the analyte. We test recovery on your specific sample type during the pilot conversion run, so you know exactly what holds up before the full collection is converted.
Yes. Most projects start with a pilot batch, then move to full migration in stages as results are confirmed — you don't need to commit the whole library upfront.
That's your call. Some clients retain frozen originals in reduced cold storage as a backup; others retire them once the lyophilized format is validated.
