Many clients choose to split sample stocks between their own facilities and ours, providing effective disaster contingency without reliance on emergency recovery call‑outs.
We follow a simple Engagement Process:
Initial discussion to understand client requirements;
NDA (if required) and completion of a brief client questionnaire;
Tailored proposal aligned to your storage needs and timelines.
We would be delighted to discuss your requirements, including sample type, quantity, and storage duration and you are very welcome to visit our facilities.
