BioRelo Successfully Relocates Research Materials and Cold Storage Units for Prince Lab at Stanford Medicine
The Prince Lab at Stanford Medicine’s Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences recently completed a complex relocation with the support of BioRelo, ensuring the secure transfer of critical biological and chemical materials. Specializing in neurological research, the lab required meticulous handling of sensitive specimens, along with temperature-sensitive biological material in freezers and refrigerators to support their ongoing studies.
Focused on advancing experimental strategies for individuals who have suffered significant brain trauma, the lab has made notable strides, including demonstrating the feasibility of preventing post-traumatic epilepsy using a rat model.
The laboratory move involved the relocation of several cold storage units, each critical in preserving biological and chemical materials.
Key Assets BioRelo Relocated:
Long term storage for highly sensitive biological materials (DNA, RNA, proteins, cell cultures, plasmids, viruses, tissues) by preventing enzyme activity and chemical reactions
Short term storage for reagents, enzymes, pharmaceuticals, bacteria, and blood, though not suitable for DNA/RNA preservation
Slows biological activity, preventing microorganism growth while keeping liquids from freezing
Specialized container for cryogenic liquid storage, used to maintain extremely low temperatures for sensitive materials, samples and chemical
Moving a research lab is far more complex than a standard relocation. With the added challenge of handling temperature-sensitive material in freezers, refrigerators, and cryogenic storage, BioRelo’s expertise and equipment were essential in ensuring a smooth and secure transition.
Key Features BioRelo Offers:
Pre-Move Planning and Coordination: Ensures a streamlined transition with minimal disruptions
Ultra-Low & Cryogenic Handling: Ensures -30 °C, -80 °C and LN2 dewars maintain stable temperatures
Backup Power Systems: Multiple generators provide uninterrupted power supply to all cold storage units onboard BioRelo’s trucks, preventing temperature fluctuations during transit.
Trained Professionals: Movers with experience in safely transporting sensitive biological and chemical materials
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring full adherence to local, state, and federal regulations
GPS Tracking and Monitoring: Real-time temperature and location tracking ensures complete transparency
Contingency Plans: Emergency protocols as outlined in our standard operating procedures, in place of the unforeseen issues, such as power loss or mechanical failure
Coverage: Policies covering all cold storage units and products within
BioRelo is not just a convenient option for laboratory moves – it is an essential service. By trusting our experts who understand the complexities of scientific relocations, research teams can protect years of valuable data and materials.
