Biorepository Services

Medpace has repositories at our facilities in USA, Belgium, Singapore and China. Since each site also has responsibilities for managing clinical studies, the repositories and sample storage units are operated as per strict regulations and can expand as a clinical program grows. This means that there are always accommodations for your short-term or long-term specimen storage projects. Check with us to set up time to review your needs and onboard your project.

Split your inventory offsite using our regulated biorepository for disaster-risk mitigation and improving business continuity. Whether we bring your units to our facility or you use our own controlled storage, it’s something that should be part of your disaster preparedness. Our storage contingencies include a Biorepository area-dedicated natural gas (continuous feed) generator, with secondary generator fail over. Use our storage units with redundant compressors and LN2 back up and our cryogenic room with continuous feed from our on-site liquid nitrogen bulk supply. Rest assured, the state of the art Rees Centron Presidio Environmental monitoring system manages all controlled temperature storage units and areas. You will also appreciate that your critical inventory records and data are backed up and stored with us with an offsite redundancy server.

Medpace Biorepository also processes samples in a variety of ways including purifying whole blood and bone marrow for mononuclear cells, aliquoting, card spotting, buffering, acidifications, deidentifying/relabeling, etc. Other processing methods can be added customized per request.

Our peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) processing procedures are certified annually through an external Biospecimen Proficiency Testing Program in cooperation with the Integrated Biobank of Luxembourg (IBBL). This program compares our performance to other laboratories using these criteria: viability, cell yields, and functional performance in IFN‐gamma ELISpot assay.

Additionally, our Sample Processing technicians are qualified by a top 5 Pharma company for processing PBMC for use in their critical, clinical programs. This qualification was based on meeting their criteria for viability, cell yields, and functional performance in IFN‐gamma ELISpot assay.

Whether you are an established biobank or at the start of setting one up, our in-house expertise can be valuable. Our biorepository leadership has years of practical knowledge with establishing and managing regulated biobanks in a pharmaceutical setting and is also CAP Accredited as a peer inspector for biorepositories. Before you get too far into the biobanking business, give us a call to see how we can help.
