GenStore Archive Cabinet

The GenStore Archive is a highly efficient and cost effective method for storing hundreds of thousands of biosamples. Designed for storing GenTegra-DNA and GenTegra-RNA protected samples, the GenStore Archive can hold up to 600 96-tube racks.* The exact number of other racks will be dependent on the brand of 96-tube rack and the tube volume used. Any manufacturer’s 96-tube rack may be used and virtually any size tube. The GenStore Archive will also store small screw cap tubes conveniently in a 100 tube paper box. The optional box rack holds twenty boxes for a total rack capacity of 2000 tubes. Box racks and plate racks can be conveniently mixed as needed. GenStore archive is well suited for organizations that collect a relatively large number of samples for their own personal research efforts.

GenStore Personal Archive

The GenStore Archive is an efficient high density method for storing hundreds of thousands of blood & other biosamples. In about 9.5 square feet of floor space up to 1176 GenPlates can be easily stored and just as easily retrieved. Depending upon the configuration of the GenPlate used more than 450,000 discrete sample aliquots can be archived. The GenStore archive is well suited for organizations that collect a relatively large number of samples for their own personal research efforts. The GenStore personal archive stores more than 450,000 discrete samples and provides storage space for more storage than twelve -80°C freezers under room temperature storage

GenStore Desktop Archive

The Desktop archive is the smallest in the series of room-temperature biosample archiving systems available form GenVault. The desktop system allow one to validate the concept of room temperature sample storage at a cost effective entry point.
