Flexible, scalable biorepository storage for early-stage research — no long-term lock-in required.
From a single freezer’s worth of samples to a growing collection across programs, GenVault gives academic and biotech research teams flexible, secure storage that adapts as your work evolves without long-term contracts sized for a program you haven’t built yet.
Beyond storage, GenVault helps simplify the operational work that comes with managing biological samples, from transportation and chain-of-custody documentation to inventory management and retrieval.
We operate under an ISO quality management system to provide secure materials and sample storage services for our partners in GxP regulated environments. We demonstrate our commitment to quality, compliance, and audit readiness through our achievement of multiple certifications and accreditations.
You didn’t plan for this, but here you are. The freezer’s full, another unit isn’t in this year’s budget, and whoever’s closest to the problem. Usually a lab manager, not a dedicated ops team, just inherited it.
Research doesn’t grow in a straight line. Programs pivot, funding lands faster than expected, a collaboration doubles your sample count overnight and most storage contracts aren’t built to bend with you. That’s where an experienced biorepository helps: not just a place to store samples, but an operational resource that already has the processes in place.
GenVault was built to solve exactly this problem: a place to store irreplaceable research materials that flexes with you, rather than forcing you to plan years ahead just to get started.
Not every laboratory has existing procedures for sample transportation, accessioning, chain of custody, or inventory management. Rather than developing those workflows internally, your team can rely on GenVault’s established processes and documentation. We help guide the transfer from your laboratory into long-term storage, making it easier to move samples without creating new SOPs or paperwork from scratch.
Moving biological samples involves more than arranging a courier. Samples must be transported under the correct conditions, accompanied by the appropriate documentation, and received into storage without losing traceability. Because GenVault manages both transportation and storage, your team works with one provider from pickup through accessioning and storage. That means fewer handoffs, fewer vendors to coordinate, and one documented process from beginning to end.
From ambient & controlled room temperature (CRT) to cold room, freezer & ultra-low temperature (ULT), and cryogenic storage. As your research spans more modalities, you don’t need a new vendor for each one.
Whether you’re storing a few vials or planning for exponential growth, you’re not locked into a footprint sized for a program that hasn’t happened yet.
No months-long procurement process. Get your samples into secure, validated storage quickly, so research momentum doesn’t stall waiting on infrastructure.
No hidden fees or complex billing structures, so budgeting for storage doesn’t require guesswork.
Track inventory through GenVault’s LIMS system for fast retrieval, while GenVault manages the day-to-day storage operations, documentation, and inventory updates behind the scenes.
Redundant power (diesel and natural gas generators, a 6,000-gallon LN2 backup supply), 24/7 monitoring, and a five-floor, disaster-resilient facility protect materials that can’t be recreated.
Early-stage research doesn’t always start under GxP requirements, but it often ends up there. GenVault’s ISO 9001-certified, ISO 20387-accredited, CAP-accredited, and FDA-registered biorepository means your samples are stored to a standard that holds up if and when your research moves toward IND-enabling studies or clinical translation, so you’re not forced to switch vendors mid-program. For laboratories that don’t routinely work with these quality systems, GenVault provides established processes and documentation rather than expecting every research group to develop them independently.
No. GenVault is built to support research teams at any scale, from a small early-stage collection to programs that grow significantly over time.
Yes. Because GenVault offers ambient, cold room, freezer/ULT, and cryogenic storage under one roof, you can add or shift conditions as your modalities and requirements evolve. No need to onboard a new vendor.
GenVault’s onboarding process is designed to move quickly relative to traditional procurement timelines, so research isn’t delayed waiting on infrastructure. Contact us to discuss your timeline.
GenVault’s GxP-compliant, ISO- and CAP-accredited facility is built to support samples from early discovery through clinical and commercial stages, so your storage partner doesn’t have to change as your program matures.
Yes. GenVault operates using established procedures for receiving, documenting, storing, retrieving, and transferring biological samples. Our team can guide laboratories through the required documentation instead of expecting them to create every process internally.
Yes. GenVault can coordinate transportation together with storage, allowing samples to move through one documented process from pickup to accessioning and storage. Working with one provider reduces handoffs and simplifies coordination for laboratory staff.
Whether you need additional storage capacity or help managing the operational work surrounding your samples, GenVault provides established processes for transportation, documentation, inventory management, and storage all through one experienced team. You shouldn’t have to choose between secure storage and staying flexible.
