Energy-Efficient Biological Sample Storage with Froilabo ULT Freezers
Why Biological Sample Storage Matters
Biological sample storage plays a crucial role in scientific research, healthcare, pharmaceutical development, and forensics. Proper storage maintains the integrity, chemical stability, and viability of biological specimens, helping to prevent contamination and degradation.
Whether you’re storing DNA, blood plasma, vaccines, or tissue samples, using the correct ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezer is essential to long-term success and compliance.
What Is Biological Sample Storage?
Biological sample storage involves preserving biological materials (cells, tissues, blood, etc.) at ultra-low temperatures for future use. This is particularly important when:
- Research requires long-term access to biological materials
- Clinical samples must remain viable over time
- Evidence in forensic investigations must be preserved without degradation
- Vaccines and pharmaceuticals need low-temperature conditions to remain effective
ULT freezers (typically operating at -80°C) provide a reliable storage solution across all of these applications.
How Are Biological Samples Stored?
To ensure optimal sample preservation:
- Samples are initially frozen using a blast freezer to prepare them for storage.
- They are stored in ULT freezers at -80°C, where biological activity and degradation are significantly reduced.
- Quick thawing, such as in a water bath, is recommended when samples are retrieved.
- To minimize freeze-thaw cycles (which can degrade sample quality), it’s best to aliquot samples before freezing.
Froilabo offers a wide range of temperature-controlled storage solutions designed to preserve sample integrity with minimal energy consumption.
Key Applications of Biological Sample Storage
Biobanks
Biobanks depend on ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers to preserve a wide range of biospecimens, including blood, DNA, and tissue samples. These stored samples are critical for genomic research, personalized medicine, and long-term population studies, enabling scientists to analyze biological data over time without compromising sample integrity.
Pharmaceutical & Medical Research
Long-term storage of samples is essential in drug development, clinical trials, and vaccine research. Froilabo ULT freezers ensure samples remain stable and potent.
Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
ULT freezers are used to store critical samples like:
- Blood plasma
- Bone marrow
- Stem cells
These samples are vital for transplants, diagnostics, and patient treatments.
Forensic Laboratories
Preserving biological evidence (e.g., blood, hair, skin) at ultra-low temperatures ensures long-term integrity for analysis in legal cases and investigations.
