BioGrad provides scalable, secure biological sample storage for organisations engaged in clinical and biomedical research. Our scientist-led team ensures your valuable collections are stored safely, with complete traceability and the highest standards of care.
Secure long-term storage for legacy collections at -80°C or in vapour-phase liquid nitrogen, helping preserve valuable historical samples while keeping them accessible whenever required.
Secure secondary storage for duplicates of key specimens, helping reduce the risk of freezer failure or loss of internal capacity while keeping samples monitored and retrievable.
Support with collection reconciliation, cataloguing, consolidation and preparation for automated storage systems, helping improve efficiency while maintaining sample traceability.
Specialist support for eligible collections through BioGrad’s commercial Research Tissue Bank, including collaborative commercialisation opportunities that can help generate funding for future research programmes.
Legacy Sample Storage- Free up space without compromising your research
Running out of room, but not yet finished with your legacy samples? We offer secure, long-term storage at -80 °C or in vapour-phase liquid nitrogen, ensuring your historical collections are preserved and accessible whenever needed.
Back-Up Sample Storage– Protect your research from unexpected failures
Worried about freezer breakdowns disrupting your studies? Our back-up sample storage provides an added layer of protection. Store duplicates of key specimens with us for peace of mind, knowing your samples are securely monitored and always retrievable.
Collection optimisation services – Streamline and future-proof your sample storage
Ideal for clinical and diagnostic collections requiring long-term storage, our optimisation service helps you take control of your sample management. Whether you’re looking to prepare your collection for automated storage systems or need support with reconciliation and cataloguing, we take care of the detail – so you can focus on the science, knowing your samples are in safe hands.
Sample commercialisation service – Unlock the value of your biospecimens
With our in-house commercial Research Tissue Bank, we offer specialist support in monetising biological collections. Through a collaborative revenue-sharing model, we help you turn underutilised samples into a sustainable source of income – funding that can be reinvested into your ongoing or future research programmes.
Proven Biobanking Experience
BioGrad provided temporary custodianship of a valuable cell line collection during the redevelopment of liquid nitrogen storage facilities, maintaining the samples within their original cryogenic storage vessels throughout the one-year project.

Temperature deviations
BioGrad provided long-term biobanking for a major clinical trial collection comprising more than 135,000 biological samples. The project involved transferring the collection into controlled -80°C storage, manually accessioning non-barcoded samples, reconciling inventory records and supporting ongoing retrievals throughout the 33-month contract.

Searchable inventory
BioGrad coordinated the consolidation of two large clinical trial collections from more than 20 UK research sites, bringing both -80°C and liquid nitrogen-stored samples into a single managed biobank. Samples were accessioned, verified and reconciled to create one unified inventory with improved traceability and oversight.

Centralised sample management
Ideal for a wide range of research samples, including:
Ultra-reliable, long-term storage for sensitive and irreplaceable samples, including:
Our ULT freezers maintain stable cryogenic conditions to prevent degradation of sensitive biological materials, including:
All systems are electronically monitored and regularly calibrated to ensure regulatory compliance and operational excellence.
For long-term storage of fragile cell lines, tissues, and biological specimens, our vapour-phase LN₂ systems offer reliable preservation under tightly controlled conditions—with the same rigorous monitoring and quality control as our ULT facilities.
Whether you’re ready to expand your storage capacity, back up critical samples, or explore commercialisation, we’re here to help.
Contact our team to discuss your requirements or to book a tour of our facilities. We’ll provide tailored recommendations and transparent pricing to support your organisation’s research goals—now and into the future. Speak to our team about your biological sample storage requirements.
