Our ability to analyze and optimize cryogenic storage options coupled with our unparalleled experience allows Core to offer Canada’s preeminent cryogenic consulting service. Our mission is to raise the bar in terms of protecting the long term value of samples stored in cryogenic facilities throughout Canada and beyond. Our design strategy is focused on addressing the three critical variables of storage: Time, Temperature and Viability.
Over a decade ago we constructed our own world class facility with state of the art cryogenic storage freezers, vault-like security, 24-7 monitoring and back-up systems.
