Protect quality and maximize space with cGMP and GDP-compliant storage for chemicals, process liquids, and buffers
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)-manufactured raw materials represent a significant investment in quality. Protecting these raw materials requires the use of a cGMP and Good Distribution Practices (GDP)-compliant space. We provide storage at facilities compliant to ISO 9001, cGMP, and GDP standards, offering another layer of security to help protect your investments in high-quality chemicals, process liquids, and buffers. This allows raw materials to be stored under optimal conditions, helping preserve their integrity, quality, and safety.
cGMP and GDP compliant
Maintaining compliance for GMP-manufactured raw materials is crucial, and inventory management at our Current Good Manufacturing Process (cGMP) and Good Distribution Process (GDP)-compliant facilities enables chemicals, process liquids, and buffers to be stored and tracked per regulatory standards. This helps prevent costly fines, supports product safety and efficacy, supports quality and traceability, and facilitates smoother regulatory audits, demonstrating our commitment to quality compliance.
Up to 90 days of storage at no additional cost
Purchasing chemicals, process liquids, and buffers through us comes with up to 90 days of storage at no additional cost. This offer allows you to take advantage of our regulated storage solutions while you optimize your facility space and resources.
We can also store your raw materials beyond the 90-day period. Contact us to learn more about extended storage and ship date deferment.

Temperature-controlled cGMP storage
Our temperature-monitored and controlled storage combines validated environmental controls, continuous monitoring, and alarmed thresholds to help maintain ambient, refrigerated, and frozen conditions required for cGMP chemicals, process liquids, and buffers. Systems are qualified through mapping and validation, using calibrated sensors with documented logs and automated alerts, and include formal excursion investigation and disposition workflows. Restricted access, chain-of-custody tracking, and audit-ready records designed to ensure that materials remain secure, compliant, and fit-for-use, to help safeguard product integrity from receipt through release.
Ambient storage
15ºC to 25ºC
Cold storage
Various spaces ranging in temperature levels from -25ºC to 15ºC
