Focussing on providing secure storage and preserving materials from a broad range of research sectors, EPL Archives is an ideal partner for equipment sourcing strategies and delivery programmes. Alongside Therapak, MESM and EPL Archives form the Clinical and Biorepository Services of VWR, part of Avantor. Together, they represent a unique group of experts dedicated to optimizing the progress of clinical operations, offering meticulous care of samples, whole product lifecycle support, and configurable kit manufacturing.
The new biorepository facility which was opened by EPL Archives this month, spans a 24-acre campus and will enable EPL to expand the resources and reach available to their clients. The first facility opening on this campus offers over 155,000 square feet of new storage capacity, designed to support the full spectrum of EPL professional biorepository services. This is a fantastic advance for EPL which perfectly demonstrates the progressive goals of all VWR partners.
"Our new facility in Leesburg is designed and maintained to the highest standards in the archival and biorepository industry," said Ulf Kepper, EVP, Services for Avantor. "It will provide nearly 1.5 million cubic feet of additional secure and environmentally controlled storage capacity, as well as expansive temperature critical environments, to support our customers."
