Preparing for storage and downstream use
A critical biobanking stage, preparation ensures that target sample components are ready for storage in an optimal format for downstream use. The preparation of biological samples lays the groundwork for a range of critical research objectives such as drug discovery, cancer and disease research, cell therapy, and beyond. Our solutions support sample preparation ranging from extraction, fractionation, and aliquoting, while maintaining traceability from the point of collection at a range of throughput levels for biobanks at any scale.
