BIOREPOS introduces in the market a comprehensive package of specialized services related to the custody and management of biological samples at low temperature, including from a basic diagnosis service at customer´s facilities to the full outsourcing of their biological sample conservation processes.

On this regard, BIOREPOS has developed a strategic network of bio-repositories specifically designed for the optimal conservation and custody of biological collections based on the highest security, traceability and quality applicable standards.
 
The launch of the network begins with the creation of the first facilities in two strategic locations of the Iberian Peninsula: the bio-repository of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia) covering the northwest area, and the bio-repository of Rivas-Vaciamadrid (Community of Madrid) covering the whole interior territory. These two new infrastructures are complementing the already existing bio-repository in Hernani (Basque Country), which works at the north-central area of the peninsula.

These facilities have the capacity to preserve more than 13.5 million biological samples, both from human, vegetable or animal origin, at refrigeration, freezing, ultra-freezing and cryogenic temperatures.
