While we all know platelets as the component of blood that helps it develop clots upon wounds, there’s more to these biconvex discoid structures. When it comes to storing them, they must be isolated from blood and stored separately, with plasma. The time period of their storage is usually five days. Over time, they undergo a number of storage changes, which makes their storage much more demanding.
Large biomedical corporations can make do with larger, more energy-consuming freezers—but what about small-scale biomedical research labs or clinics? Where do you store your samples and drugs?
Medical-grade refrigerators are indispensable in the world of modern medicine since they play a critical role in safekeeping biological samples, vaccines, medicines, and other medical supplies.
Pharmaceutical-grade lab refrigerators in research centers and medical facilities store temperature-sensitive biological samples and vaccines. Failure to follow the best preventive maintenance practices of essential lab equipment can lead to sub-optimal performance, or worse, reduced potency and compromised the integrity of sample materials.
Immunization is one of the biggest cost-effective public health interventions to date. WHO estimates that nearly 2 to 3 million deaths are prevented each year through immunizations against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine (DTP).
Collecting and preserving biological samples for future examination and analysis is fundamental for pharmaceutical and biological research.
