ABS typically works with most of the world’s major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. As a small business, we know how difficult growth can be. Far too many companies fail, especially in the early stages.

Many years ago, ABS introduced the concept of an ABS Cell Store™. The basic idea behind this concept is that scientists who use cells in their work want the data from their experiments, but do not want to spend days and often weeks growing, preparing, QC’ing, and banking cells for their experiments. Nevertheless, researchers require high quality cells for their work.
The true value of working with another company is realized when an effective partnership is created. This is especially the case when working with a research services provider such as ABS where consultation, collaboration, and customization are essential.
This post is about boxes. In this instance, I am not referring to anything as esoteric as the mental boxes, preconceptions, and patterns of belief that can limit us. I am referring to actual boxes, specifically the boxes that ABS uses to ship cells, tissues, and other biological preparations to our clients. This may seem a rather mundane topic, but it illustrates a crucial point.
Next month, ABS moves to our new headquarters at 2 Reads Ways in New Castle, DE. This two-story 48,000 sq. ft. office building is renovated with completely new laboratories and building systems. It enables us to expand operations to better serve our clients’ needs.
Services providers such as human biospecimen collection networks, cell culture scale up and banking labs, sample storage facilities, and analytical laboratories for flow cytometry, protein analysis, and histology play important roles in advancing biomedical research. If you are considering working with a service provider, there are five basic issues that are important to consider.
Below are 16 important questions to consider before choosing a cell culture services provider. The questions are followed by a brief description of why the question is important and ABS’ response to each question in blue.
What do these topics have in common? The answer is topical and informative. The common element is that the text discussing each topic in the samples below was written using Chat GTP (https://chat.openai.com). I simply typed in a few words and the computer did the rest using artificial intelligence. The three examples are next.
In 2023, financial markets are constrained. We may be on the precipice of a recession, albeit hopefully a mild one. Many organizations are limiting hiring and others are laying off personnel. Across most industries, there is a need to conserve cash. Although the demand for new therapeutics persists during economic downturns, this is a time when caution is warranted.
The beginning of the year is a time for many of us to set goals for the new year. At ABS, we review last year’s goals, accomplishments, and areas for improvement. Based upon our progress, we decide on this year’s goals. We establish key performance indicators and metrics to guide us in achieving those goals.
