Covance, Inc. has opened a new 20,000-sq.-ft. biorepository facility at its Greenfield, IN location, dedicated to long-term storage of clinical trial specimens. The facility can store a range of specimens, including plasma, serum, whole blood, DNA, PBMC, and tissue.

The facility offers a range of frozen storage including -20°C, -70°C, -80°C, and -150°C vapor phase liquid nitrogen, and according to the company, has the ability to withstand exposure to winds in excess of 300 miles per hour—the equivalent of an F5 tornado.

“We believe Covance has the latest technology and capacity to meet our clients’ sample storage and testing needs for many years to come,” said Deborah Tanner, corporate senior vice president, and president, Central Laboratory Services and Discovery & Translational Services.”By adding this biorepository to our existing central laboratory facilities, we are able to quickly store samples from our central labs and biomarkers work as well as samples from other sources. Our experience in clinical trial specimen testing and storage enables us to manage the entire lifecycle from specimen draw to final destruction, which minimize the risk for our clients due to shipping and moving specimens.”
