-80°C freezers are vital in modern research, providing secure storage of sensitive biospecimens, reagents, and materials critical for research outcomes.

As research demands grow, maintaining a reliable -80°C freezer infrastructure becomes increasingly challenging. Lab administrators must balance budgetary restraints with space availability, energy costs, human resource allocation, and regulatory requirements to ensure resource efficiency in their -80°C freezer infrastructure. This whitepaper explores the importance of -80°C freezers in biomedical research and addresses key considerations such as setup and operational costs, space requirements, and resource allocation. It also highlights the risks of equipment failure and discusses how outsourcing storage solutions can enhance sample security, regulatory compliance, and long-term research sustainability.

By outsourcing, research organizations can alleviate the burdens of infrastructure management, reduce operational risks, and focus resources on core research activities while ensuring their samples are securely stored.

This white paper looks at:

• Importance of -80°C Freezer Infrastructure in Modern Research
• The Cost of Effective -80°C Freezer Infrastructure
• Operational Considerations
• Risk Management
• SAMPLED Framework
