Formerly known as Coldtrack LLC, BioTillion, LLC is in the business of storage of biological samples. Tens of millions of new biological samples are collected and stored annually. Samples are used by pharmaceutical companies, universities, hospitals, diagnostic testing and research centers, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The National Institutes of Health (NIH), national genetic databases, forensic investigators from crime or disaster scenes, criminal population databases, genetic researchers, etc. Maintaining large collections of these samples is fraught with difficulties arising from inadequate labeling technologies, the inability to automatically locate the samples and a lack of robust connection between the physical sample and archiving software. All of these issues are further complicated because these samples are typically stored in ultra low temperature freezers (-80º C or -200º C). BioTillion's platform is designed electronically to track large collections of samples kept at ultra low temperatures in biobanks and biorepositories.
