The −20°C Cold-Chain Standard
Held at −20°C.
Packed from controlled storage.
Continuous monitoring. NIST-traceable logging with ISO 17025 calibration certificates. Documented from storage to shipment.
The Standard
What CryoStandard is
- Continuous monitoring of every storage zone
- −20°C storage for lyophilized research material
- NIST-traceable logging with ISO 17025 calibration certificates and retained records.
- Documented storage history tied to each order
- Insulated pack-out from the same controlled environment

The Path
Storage to shipment, in six stages
- 01
Receipt
Material is received and logged. Initial temperature check is performed before placement into controlled storage.
- 02
Controlled Storage
Compounds are held at −20°C in a monitored freezer. Unopened BAC water is stored separately under ambient conditions.
- 03
Continuous Logging
NIST-traceableNIST-traceable probes with ISO 17025 calibration certificates record temperature continuously. Data is stored and available for review.
- 04
Order Pull
Items are removed from storage only when an order is packed. Pull time is noted against the temperature log.
- 05
Cold Packing
Orders are packed with frozen gel packs from the same controlled environment. Packing is done quickly to limit exposure.
- 06
Shipment Record
DocumentedEach order includes a temperature summary covering the storage period prior to shipment.
Storage Standards
Freezer
4 cu ft −20°C laboratory-style freezer with door-closed probe monitoring.
Logging
NIST-traceable temperature probes with ISO 17025 calibration certificates.
Data Retention
Continuous logs retained and linked to individual orders.
BAC Water
Stored separately at stable ambient temperature (not frozen).
Access
Temperature data is publicly viewable on this page and included with orders.
All storage practices are documented for research use only.
Order Temperature Reports
Every order ships with a temperature summary covering the period the material was held in monitored storage. Full logs are available on request or via the public dashboard.

Questions
Cold-chain FAQ
- What exactly is monitored?
- The compound freezer and the separate ambient BAC water storage zone are monitored using NIST-traceable probes with ISO 17025 calibration certificates.
- What about time in transit?
- Orders travel in insulated shippers with frozen gel packs via 2-Day Air.
- How is this different from a regular freezer?
- NIST-traceable probes with ISO 17025 calibration certificates create a retained temperature record tied to each order.
- Where can I see the data?
- The data feed and logs will appear on this page when connected. Full storage logs can be requested through Contact.
Order compounds that arrive cold
Every order leaves the same −20°C environment under NIST-traceable monitoring described on this page.
