Maintaining strict temperature ranges is vital to the quality of stored products, and can help laboratories meet accreditation requirements. When assessors look at whether a refrigerator or freezer can maintain the temperature range listed on the product’s package insert, it is important to have confidence in your cold storage solution. Improper cold storage carries risks such as the following:
- Negatively impacting test results and delivery of care
- The possibility of financial loss when expensive products are compromised
- The risk of losing samples needed for diagnostic testing or research
- Unnecessarily draining facility resources when equipment fails to work properly
Fortunately, these risks can be mitigated by implementing high quality, medical-grade cold storage solutions. As an example, the following video highlights the differences between general purpose refrigerators and medical-grade units.
