Cold Storage Systems for Secure, Scalable Sample Protection

Ensure sample integrity with sensor-equipped cold storage systems engineered for laboratory, clinical, and biotech environments.

Overview

Cold storage systems are critical to ensuring the integrity, traceability, and long-term viability of biological samples, pharmaceuticals, reagents, and clinical specimens. These systems provide consistent low-temperature environments, often integrated with monitoring and security capabilities to prevent temperature excursions and ensure compliance. Designed for high-volume, high-stakes environments, cold storage solutions help labs and healthcare providers meet stringent safety and regulatory standards.

Lab equipment hub delivers cold storage systems to B2B clients across North America, helping organizations streamline cold chain operations with reliable and scalable solutions. With deep technical knowledge and a commitment to innovation, we support businesses through expert product selection, seamless integration, and unmatched post-sale support. Our solutions are built to meet the exacting demands of research institutions, hospitals, biobanks, and diagnostic labs—all while helping our clients stay ahead of compliance and operational challenges.

Core Components of Cold Storage Systems

These reliable, high-quality products and systems enhance our ability to deliver comprehensive technologies, integrations, and services you can trust. Where relevant, we have provided direct links to select products and systems from GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc.

Hardware

Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers (ULT)

Store samples at -80°C for long-term preservation of DNA, RNA, proteins, and vaccines.
We support these systems with our ruggedized Industrial Tablet PCs, ideal for field diagnostics and freezer performance logging.

Cryogenic Storage Units

Utilize liquid nitrogen (LN2) systems for secure storage of sensitive samples below -150°C.
Our BLE Gateways, Beacons & Accessories enable real-time environmental monitoring of these high-risk zones.

Refrigerated Centrifuges

Enable cold sample separation processes in clinical or molecular workflows.
LAB EQUIPMENT HUB’s LoRaWAN End Devices are ideal for condition-based monitoring of temperature and vibration during centrifuge operation.

Temperature Monitoring Sensors (e.g., from GAO RFID Inc.)

Real-time data capture for alerts, audit trails, and excursions.
We deploy UHF RFID Readers, Tags & Accessories for seamless integration of automated inventory and compliance tracking.

Backup Power Systems

Case Studies

United States

Biopharmaceutical Company, New Jersey

A growing biotech firm needed a scalable, GMP-compliant cold storage system for biologic samples. Lab equipment hub deployed integrated ULT freezers with RFID monitoring from GAO RFID Inc., and real-time cloud alerts. This reduced sample loss incidents by 90% and ensured audit-readiness.

United States

Academic Medical Center, Texas

A university hospital required a secure cryogenic storage solution for research tissues and cell cultures. We provided LN2-based cryogenic units with dual-sensor temperature validation and remote access capability. The system helped them pass NIH compliance audits and improved storage traceability.

Canada

Public Health Lab, Ontario

A provincial public health lab required remote monitoring of vaccine cold storage units across multiple regions. Lab equipment hub installed cloud-connected temperature sensors from GAO Tek Inc. and provided centralized dashboard access, enabling streamlined data management and reduced manual oversight.
