Multiple small molecules services
Specimen bank — creation and storage of homogeneous lyophilizates
Full banking, solvent-free (SF) protocol (includes "cryo-cart" service, vials, stoppers, freeze drying, dry pulverization, dry mass determination, pH determination, onsite storage, data management and up to 5 aliquot removals) $40 40 $1.26 frozen specimen 1.5
