Cryosite is a Sydney-based Australian company, established in early 2000 to provide specialist ultra-low temperature and cryogenic storage services to a wide range of clients including universities, research institutes, biotechnology, veterinary, CRO’s and pharmaceutical companies.

In recognition of the demand for the temperature controlled storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other trial reagents, Cryosite has expanded its range of services to include the provision of clinical trial logistics services to the pharmaceutical and clinical research organisations. Over the past 12 months, operations have increased rapidly and already Cryosite has established a strong client profile.

The pharmaceutical industry increasingly recognises the value of outsourcing. Outsourcing the management of clinical trial supplies and samples plays a particularly effective role in clinical development and allows CRO’s, doctors and researchers to focus their resources on other key aspects of trial management and development. This is particularly beneficial as clinical trials become more complex and costly and CRO’s are required to coordinate large scale patient numbers, randomisation, supply distribution and inventory management. Cryosite can provide pharmaceutical companies and their CRO’s with a logistics team that can streamline day-to-day trial logistics including inventory management, movement of trial supplies including drugs, case report forms, and returns, certified destruction and reconciliation both during and at the end of a study.

Operations are carried out in a state-of-the-art 800m² NATA accredited (ISO/IEC 17025) facility, that operates to World’s Best Practice and GMP standards. The facility is secured and monitored 24 hours a day and provides clients with a range of storage conditions and options including ambient (18-25°C), refrigerator (2-8°C), frozen (-20 to -80°C) and cryogenic (liquid nitrogen). Our Quality standards ensure compliance with all necessary regulatory requirements. All staff have formal scientific qualifications and understand the high level of importance that needs to be associated with your samples.
