January 26th 2014

Cryo Store has more than ten years experience in the storage, packaging and worldwide shipment of biological samples, clinical samples, products for scientific research and other temperature sensitive materials.

This mastery over every component over the temperature controlled logistics chain has enabled Cryo Store to develop two complementary but distinct service offerings: Logistics and Bio Storage.

Logistics
Cryo Store’s unique combination of logistical experience and Temperature Controlled Packaging (TCP) solutions make the company the perfect partner for pharma companies needing assured storage, packing and distribution of valuable, temperature sensitive products.

The company offers one stop shop solutions in which it handles every stage of shipping from pick up to delivery to end-user, with assurance that every sample arrives quickly and smoothly at requires destination in perfect condition, having been kept at any specified temperature down to -79 °Celsius at every stage on its journey.

Cryo Store’s Pick and Pack service will select products from client’s European stock, pack them for required temperature profile and standard operating procedures (SOPs) and prepare them for shipping.

The Cryo Store distribution facility provides product storage at -196 °C, -30 °C, +4 °C and room temperature. Facilities comply with highest standards for temperature registration, security and back up, with access to Cryo Store’s distribution department restricted to fully qualified employees.

When it comes to shipping, Cryo Store works with the full range of leading couriers, like TNT, FedEx and UPS to preserve independence from any single network. In this way, it can offer the quickest available service to European locations (between 24 and 48 hours) and provide a network that reaches any served destination in the world.

Compliance to highest regulatory requirements qualifies Cryo Store as a “known sender” for customs and other authorities, further ensuring speedy and safe delivery.

Cryo Store provides shipping details to clients in daily reports for full tracking and tracing, while also monitoring shipments in progress to minimize risk of delay or damage to product.

Bio Storage
An important part of the Cryo Store service offering is storage of biological samples, production batches and products, both long term and short term for packing and distribution.

Very high standards of temperature control, registration, technical back up and security have made Cryo Store the preferred choice of European warehouse and distribution hub for several multinational life science companies.

Cryo Store can offer fully comprehensive storage services that include stock level control and temperature registration.

Cryo Store’s long term and distribution storage facilities offer a range of controlled temperatures down to -196°C. These are located in special secure areas, only accessible to fully qualified and vetted employees, equipped with all required back-up systems and data management. Our systems focus on safety and preserving a controlled environment, with constantly monitored temperatures within each freezer, fridge or liquid nitrogen container and all units linked to technical and temperature alarm systems. Back up is ensured with emergency power generators and reserve supplies of CO2 and dry ice.

Access to storage space is flexible: from complete freezers for long term storage to shared fridges or freezers for distribution. Every product or sample that enters our storage facility is assigned a unique number in the Cryo Store custom database, with barcode where applicable. This assures full traceability from entrance till end delivery.
