Security Operations

CryoGene's facility has 24-hour security using the latest technology. The facility's internal sample storage repository areas as well as individual freezers are accessible only to authorized personnel. Using video and state-of-the-art biometric scanning technology linked to our computer system, approved staff has access only to assigned areas. Samples are constantly monitored for variation in the temperature range required to maintain their minimum critical threshold (MCT). If there is a malfunction or system failure, we are alerted prior to reaching the MCT. The computer monitoring system will immediately notify laboratory staff, direct them to the system in question and record all action taken to resolve the alert. As an option, clients may be alerted as to the problem via pager, cell phone or email. Backup cryopreservation systems are available if transfer of specimens from a failing freezer unit is required. All critical equipment and computer hardware is backed up with uninterrupted power supply (UPS) units and onsite generators. A 6000 gallon LN2 storage tank is onsite. The generators and bulk LN2 storage tank with auto refill capability assures our clients of uninterrupted service virtually indefinitely in the event of a disaster.
