Ultra-Low Temperature Storage

Ultra-low temperatures (-80°C) are critical to the long-term preservation of sensitive biological material, including cell therapies, vaccines, blood, DNA, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Precision understands that the quality and integrity of biological materials are vital and directly affect research efforts’ outcomes and validity.

Precision Stability Storage provides cGMP-compliant biorepository services to maintain critical materials under controlled temperature environments. Our biorepositories include industry-leading cold storage equipment, 21 CFR Part 11-compliant monitoring, access control, robust security systems, and highly trained personnel to ensure the integrity of the materials stored, making us a trusted partner for long and short-term storage.

Operational Efficiencies: Outsourcing storage can improve efficiency by allowing organizations to focus on their core activities, such as research, development, and production, while leaving the management of biological collections to experts in the field.

Space and Resource Optimization: Offsite storage allows laboratories to free up valuable space for critical activities. It eliminates the need for organizations to invest in CapX and maintain costly storage infrastructures.

Risk Mitigation: Offsite storage providers like Precision have robust disaster recovery plans and redundancies. This helps mitigate risks associated with unexpected events, such as power outages, equipment failures, or natural disasters.

FAQs about our Ultra-low Temperature Storage Solution

What is an Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer? +

An ultra-low freezer (also called an ultra-low temperature freezer or ULT freezer) is designed to store biologics, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive materials at extremely low temperatures, requiring temperatures as low as -86°C.

Can Precision Stability Storage accommodate large-scale storage needs? +

Yes, our facilities are designed to accommodate both small—and large-scale storage requirements. We offer flexible storage solutions from a shelf to a full freezer.

How do you ensure the integrity and viability of stored materials? +

  • Real-Time Monitoring and Alarms: We have a robust monitoring system that operates 24/7 to track temperature, humidity, and other critical parameters. Any deviations trigger alerts, and corrective actions are taken quickly.
  • Validated Storage Solutions: We validate our equipment to manufacturers’ specs and meet regulatory and industry standards, ensuring optimal storage conditions for sensitive ultra-low temperature materials.
  • Controlled Access and Security: Strict access and security protocols are in place to prevent unauthorized handling of materials.
  • Expert Handling and Procedures: Trained personnel follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for storing, retrieving, and transporting materials.
  • Regular Maintenance and Calibration: Equipment undergoes routine maintenance and calibration to ensure long-term reliability and consistent performance.

What contingency plans are in place in case of natural disasters or facility emergencies? +

Redundant Systems include backup generators and at-temperature ultra-low freezers for continuous operation during a power outage or equipment failures.
