Blood Services are stringently regulated and required to collect, test, process, store and deliver products that are 100% safe. Accurate environmental monitoring system record-keeping is critical to enable Blood Services to adhere to regulatory requirements.
Contronics is a partner of choice for UK Blood Services, we have extensive experience in this field. A Contronics environmental monitoring system is installed in Europe’s largest Blood Centre in Filton, Bristol. In fact, more than 85% of the blood and blood products stored at Blood Centres in England and Wales rely on the integrity of Contronics’ temperature monitoring systems. In addition, many NHS Trusts and life science organisations are routinely using our best-selling wireless temperature monitoring and wired temperature monitoring.
The use of biological samples, especially human samples, are increasingly prevalent in drug development, as research relies less on animal experiments. In addition, the rise of cheap genetic testing has allowed large scale population genomics studies with a requirement for large sample population conservation.
One prerequisite of sample conservation for Biobanks is the regulatory and commercial requirement to record very accurately and for a long period of time, all data related to the archiving records.
