Unlocking Efficiency: Optimizing Cold Storage for Maximum Research Potential
Join us for a Breakfast Symposium session at the ISBER 2025 Annual Meeting as we dive into the critical role of optimized sample and material management and how you as sample management experts can champion change in your organization to accelerate research, reduce operational costs, and support sustainability goals. Drawing from assessments of over 3,600 cold storage units across 51 research facilities, our team will discuss:
- Strategies for securing stakeholder support across research, operations, finance, and administration
- Effective ways to help researchers identify and classify usable samples in cold storage
- Recognizing the value of standardized data practices for institution-wide consistency and efficiency
- The key steps to implementing a long-term, sustainable solution for optimized material storage management
This interactive discussion will provide real-world insights from industry, academic, and medical research institutions, helping you navigate the path to more efficient research for your institution.
