BioStorage Joins AMDeC’s Vendor Partnership Program

BioStorage Technologies has joined AMDeC’s Vendor Partnership Program that provides members with preferred pricing on various products and services for medical research. BioStorage will provide biomaterial storage and relocation services. AMDeC comprises 22 academic medical research institutions in the New York region.

According to Maria Mitchell, Ph.D., president of AMDeC, “By offering our members discounted access to services provided by BioStorage Technologies, AMDeC is helping to significantly reduce monthly expenditures and investments in capital equipment and facilities that can rapidly escalate operating costs.”

Lori Ball, chief operating officer of BioStorage Technologies, said, “BioStorage Technologies recognizes the critical importance of ensuring secure, reliable, traceable access to biological specimens stored to support research advancements. The same expertise and care we use in managing millions of samples for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies will be applied to create sample management solutions for AMDeC Members in the academic research setting.”

As part of its services, BioStorage will conduct on-site audits of AMDeC Member institutions to assess their needs and create a customized sample management strategy through outsourced or on-site solutions. AMDeC members will also have access to BioStorage Technologies’ web-based tracking and sample management system, ISISS (Intelligent Specimen Inventory Storage System). This system allows users to monitor sample status and activity, view audit trails and documentation, schedule shipments, and retrieve data on stored samples.
