Secure storage and disciplined chain-of-custody that keep every sample tracked, protected, and fit for use.
Good science depends on good samples, handled with care and accounted for at every step. Our biobanking and sample management division provides secure storage and disciplined chain-of-custody for the biological and chemical materials the group’s work depends on. From intake and labelling through controlled storage and retrieval, every sample is tracked, protected, and preserved under conditions designed to maintain its integrity over time. This is quiet, essential infrastructure: unremarkable when it works, costly when it does not. We treat it with the seriousness it deserves, applying clear protocols, environmental controls, and documentation that stands up to audit and partner scrutiny. The capability supports research, diagnostics, and clinical programmes across the group, and gives partners confidence that materials entrusted to us are managed to a professional standard. As our pipeline and collaborations grow, so does the value of knowing exactly what we hold, where it is, and that it remains fit for use. In a group built on evidence, the careful stewardship of samples is not a back-office function. It is part of the foundation.
