Cryogenic Sample Storage (–196°C)
At Harrow Green’s Cambridge Biorepository, we provide fully validated liquid and vapour phase cryogenic storage at –196°C, designed for research, biotech, pharmaceutical, and clinical organisations that require uncompromising protection for their most sensitive materials.
Our cryogenic facility operates to GxP-aligned, HTA-licensed standards with complete traceability, 24/7 monitoring, and robust redundancy, ensuring your samples remain stable, secure, and inspection-ready at all times.
Why Choose Harrow Green for Cryogenic Storage?
Unmatched Security & Chain-of-Custody
Secure access-controlled zones, full CCTV coverage, logged entry records, and end-to-end sample barcoding ensure total transparency and compliance for every vial, straw, or canister.
Cryogenic Resilience Built In
Our cryogenic storage system includes:
- Validated liquid and vapour phase LN₂ tanks
- Automated fill systems with independent fail-safes
- Dual-path telemetry
- Hot-swap backup capacity for emergency transfer.
This infrastructure guarantees continuous, stable cryo conditions without interruption.
Compliance You Can Show Auditors
Each tank undergoes rigorous validation including temperature/level mapping, calibration, alarm testing, and audit trail verification.
You receive QA documentation packs, inspection-ready logs, and full cryogenic monitoring records.
