security
Security is a critical consideration when storing valuable patient samples for an extended period of time. To ensure security of your samples we have implemented a number of measures:
- The facility is secured with strictly controlled smart card access entry, and back-to-base intrusion alarms. An audit trail tracks access to the facility and storage units
- Storage units are individually secured and monitored 24hrs a day with alarms directed to a 24 x 7 manned alert facility. Cryosite staff will respond around the clock
- The facility has climate control to minimise temperature fluctuations
- A 250kw stand-alone diesel generator supplies independent backup power
- Backup power bypasses the main switchboard to the building. The facility has an independent switchboard and UPS power supply
- Cryosite has 24 hour x 7 day access to a second emergency generator, delivered within 2 hours to the facility
- Each freezer has an automatic individual CO2 backup system and liquid nitrogen storage units are automatically refilled using a level monitoring system.
- Supplier guaranteed 24 hour x 7 day emergency deliveries of liquid nitrogen and CO2
- Each month, Cryosite tests the generator under load to ensure that it will work properly if a power outage should occur
- Internet access to Cryobyte utilises 128-bit encryption.
