REGULATED LONG-TERM STORAGE OF BIOLOGICAL & PHARMACEUTICAL MATERIALS
Company History
BioRepository Resources, LLC (BRR) is an independent specialty contract services company that is focused entirely on regulated long-term storage of biological & pharmaceutical materials.
BRR was founded in response to the ever-burgeoning marketplace for the storage of research materials. In addition to simply managing floor space for the exponential increase of such material, Life Science companies have been continuously trying to optimize their inventory management systems.
BRR, we are dedicated to addressing all of these needs by utilizing the appropriate SOPs in a GXP environment.
Why BRR?
Many of your 3rd party storage providers really couldn’t tell you exactly what they have in their freezers! In addition, they may not be able to confirm the actual storage conditions of these samples over an extended period.
At BRR, our industry compliant procedures and technology will ensure that all of this information is managed accurately and securely.
Partner with BRR and let us manage your inventory in accordance with the expected industry standards.

An Extension of Your Research Facilities.
Storage units occupy huge footprints of precious lab space. When you look at the costs associated with the manual labor and the energy requirements for the long-term storage of pharmaceutical research materials, it just makes sense to secure an economical, reliable alternative. Partner with the EXPERTS!
A Regulated Operating Environment.
All biorepository activities are conducted under strict standard operating procedures, and regular quality control reviews. Internal back-up systems are in place for all aspects of the business. Repositories of biological samples, and their inventory databases, are critical components of pharmaceutical research.
At BRR we manage our facility with the highest regard for “The Best Practices for Repositories.”
Sample Management
With an exponential increase in the number of biological samples generated over the past decade, it is clear what the future holds for repositories.
Secure Facilities
The purpose of a biorepository is the safekeeping of biological materials. Therefore, the proper security systems should be employed to address this aspect.
Reliable Equipment
The operation of all freezers and refrigerators is routinely monitored and the temperature of each storage unit is recorded continuously.
Backup Power
It’s a well known fact that biorepositories require a constant source of electrical power. It’s also a well known fact that at some point in time, commercial power will fail, temporarily. As a result, a reliable backup power system is critical.

FAQ
White Paper: Simulated Freezer Failure
Based on available literature detailing the loss of frozen research material, researchers have not provided details about the rate of temperature loss in the affected ULT units. Often, these failures occur on weekends when staff are not present in the lab to hear the freezer alarms. In addition, monitoring systems required to safeguard this valuable material have either not been implemented or have not functioned properly to alert staff, remotely.
