Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation to Protect DNA Samples Using Biomatrica's Room Temperature Storage
Biomatrica today announced that the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) will use Biomatrica's SampleMatrix room temperature storage technology to archive its DNA samples.
SMGF will use the SampleMatrix technology in place of ultra-low-temperature freezers for the long-term storage of all newly collected samples. In addition, SMGF will move its collection of previously archived samples from freezers to room temperature storage.
"SMGF has an extremely valuable collection of DNAs, and we have been very concerned about the long-term storage and preservation of the collection," said Scott Woodward, executive director of the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation. "Biomatrica has developed a product that we feel addresses our concerns in a very practical, economical and secure way."
