Web resource for biobanking

CryoFeed is a web-based information resource for researchers who cryopreserve biological specimens. The microsite, developed by Wheaton, is a place where scientists can find the latest biobank related news and technical tips for topics like sample containment, management (tracking, batching and storing) and processing. Visitors can sign up for free updates, post comments and suggest topics for articles.

CryoFeed was developed to provide answers to questions about sample containment-related issues. This reflects the need in the biomedical and life sciences research communities to secure knowledge concerning the biological, physiological and genetic characteristics of individual biological specimens.

There is growing interest in this field, with cryogenic storage becoming a priority in sample management for research facilities of all sizes and disciplines. These include hospitals, universities, public and private research institutions, and pharmaceutical laboratories.
