Our expertise ensures that your microbial resources are preserved under optimal conditions, and ready for use whenever necessary.
Primary & Secondary Strain Bank Establishment Service at Creative Biolabs
Our Primary & Secondary Strain Bank Establishment service is designed to create and maintain high-quality, stable strains for research, production, and commercial applications. The primary strain bank serves as the original collection of strains, while the secondary strain bank acts as a backup, providing an additional layer of security for long-term storage. Both strain banks are maintained under strict quality control protocols to ensure genetic stability, viability, and purity.
-
Primary Strain Bank Establishment
Our primary strain bank establishment service includes:
-
Strain characterization: Each strain is carefully characterized based on its genetic profile, phenotypic traits, and metabolic capabilities.
-
Purity testing: We perform rigorous purity testing to ensure that the strains are free from contamination by other microorganisms or cell types.
-
Cryopreservation: Strains are cryopreserved in optimal conditions, using validated cryoprotectants to ensure long-term viability.
-
Storage conditions optimization: We assess and select the best storage conditions (e.g., cryogenic storage, -80°C storage) to maintain strain quality for extended periods.
-
Secondary Strain Bank Establishment
The secondary strain bank acts as a backup for the primary collection, ensuring that strains can be recovered and regenerated in the event of strain loss or degradation. Our secondary strain bank establishment service includes:
-
Backup creation: We create secondary backups of each strain from the primary strain bank to ensure redundancy.
-
Long-term stability testing: We perform stability studies to assess the viability of strains after extended storage, ensuring that they maintain their integrity for future use.
-
Revalidation and recovery protocols: We develop protocols for recovering and revalidating strains in case of any loss of genetic or phenotypic integrity.
-
Strain Quality Control and Testing
Our strain quality control procedures ensure that every strain in both primary and secondary banks meets the highest standards of genetic and phenotypic integrity. These procedures include:
-
Genetic stability testing: We monitor strains for genetic mutations, deletions, or rearrangements over time to ensure consistent performance.
-
Phenotypic stability testing: We assess the strains for stability in traits such as growth characteristics, productivity, and resistance to environmental stressors.
-
Contamination monitoring: We regularly test for contamination and ensure that all strains are free from bacterial, fungal, or viral contaminants.
-
Custom Strain Bank Development
We offer tailored strain bank development services to meet the unique needs of clients working with specific organisms or applications. This includes custom preservation techniques, optimized storage conditions, and specific monitoring protocols designed for the client's research or production environment.
Our team comprises highly skilled scientists with expertise in microbiology, genetics, and preservation techniques. We utilize a range of advanced methodologies and technologies, including:
-
Cryopreservation and Lyophilization: We use advanced cryopreservation methods, such as slow freezing and vitrification, along with lyophilization (freeze-drying) to preserve the genetic integrity and viability of strains for long-term storage.
-
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): NGS technologies are employed to confirm the genetic identity of strains and detect any potential mutations or genetic drift over time.
-
Microscopy and Phenotypic Analysis: High-resolution microscopy techniques are used to monitor phenotypic changes, such as morphology and growth characteristics, ensuring strain stability.
-
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems: Our state-of-the-art automated storage systems ensure efficient strain management, allowing for quick retrieval of strains from both primary and secondary banks.
