Questions buyers ask
Can BiomLife® revive live bacteria after transport?
Yes. It preserves and revives aerobic, anaerobic and fastidious bacteria, fungi and phages, so the same sample can go to culture or to sequencing.
How long can samples travel without a cold chain?
Up to 3 weeks at 15–25°C. For longer storage, keep samples at -20°C (more than 90 days) or -80°C (10+ years).
