Galatea Bio is committed to work with the GB community to build and expand the infrastructure needed for a federated network of biobanks with diverse populations. We work and share our knowledgewith each partner in our biobank network to ensure our samples and data are of highest quality.
Biobank as a Service (BaaS)
Galatea Bio’s College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited biobank offers storage solutions for specimens at controlled ambient temperatures, 4°C, -30°C, -80°C, and -100°C with redundant back-up systems. Automated temperature monitoring system monitors storage temperatures that meet CAP, FDA and other regulatory standards. Our sample management system offers full sample accessioning with a full chain of custody that maintains the highest standards. Your samples are always available for retrieval whenever they are needed.

Our goal is to provide the right solution for our pharma partners. Studies underway include (but are not limited to):
