Critical Reagents Repository

This cryogenic storage facility provides complete archival storage and database management for material deposit, testing, tracking and shipping. It includes a validation lab to perform quality control and quality assurance on antibody and PCR reagents, and on mammalian cell lines such as hybridomas. A Hybridoma Production Lab has been established that will support validation activities and the long-term storage of cryopreserved samples.

The facility includes a 1,500-gallon liquid Nitrogen tank for supplying uninterrupted coolant for archiving hybridoma cell lines, as well as remote facility monitoring, a backup generator and secured access.

The lab staff works closely with all players within the biodefense community in order to foster standardization of methods, accessibility of the information and validation of processes and products.
