Ensuring Long-Term Biosecurity: Microbial Strains Preservation by Microbialtec

In the era of biotechnology and life sciences innovation, microbial strains are valuable biological assets that underpin advancements in research, diagnostics, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental sciences. However, maintaining the viability and genetic stability of these microbial resources over time is a challenge faced by both academic institutions and commercial enterprises. To address this need, Creative Biogene’s Microbialtec platform offers professional, reliable, and customizable microbial strain preservation services.

Why Microbial Strain Preservation Matters

Microbial strains are living systems, and their biological integrity can degrade over time if not stored under appropriate conditions. Improper preservation may lead to:

Loss of viability or metabolic function

Genetic drift or mutation

Contamination

Altered physiological characteristics

Such changes can compromise the accuracy of experimental results, the consistency of product quality, and the reproducibility of bioprocesses. Whether for research continuity, regulatory compliance, or commercial product development, preserving microbial strains effectively is essential for long-term success.

Microbialtec’s Comprehensive Preservation Services

Microbialtec, a division of Creative Biogene, provides a complete suite of microbial strain preservation services, designed to meet the specific needs of clients across various sectors. The platform supports the preservation of a wide array of microorganisms, including:

Bacteria (aerobic, anaerobic)

Fungi and yeasts

Actinomycetes

Archaea

By leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and protocols, Microbialtec ensures optimal conditions for long-term storage and recovery.

Preservation Methods Offered:

Cryopreservation – Deep-freezing cells in liquid nitrogen or at ultra-low temperatures (-80?C to -196?C) to maintain genetic and physiological stability.

Lyophilization (Freeze-drying) – A dehydration method that enables long-term storage at room temperature, ideal for shipping and field use.

Paraffin Oil Sealing – Used for fungi or specific bacteria where growth stability is needed under semi-solid storage conditions.

Slant and Agar Preservation – Traditional techniques used for short- to medium-term preservation in laboratory environments.

These preservation methods are customized according to the strain type, intended application, and client preference. Microbialtec also provides strain viability testing and periodic monitoring to ensure preservation quality over time.

Advanced Quality Assurance and Security

To protect clients’ biological resources, Microbialtec offers:

Traceable inventory management using barcode and digital archiving systems

Sterile and contamination-free storage conditions

Redundant storage options in separate freezers for risk mitigation

Confidentiality and secure access to protect proprietary or sensitive strains

Clients can also choose long-term storage contracts or emergency retrieval services, depending on their operational needs.

Supporting Research and Commercialization

Preserved microbial strains form the backbone of many innovations in:

Drug development and antibiotic screening

Agricultural biofertilizer and biopesticide formulation

Environmental bioremediation programs

Industrial fermentation and enzyme production

Food and beverage manufacturing

By ensuring consistent access to stable microbial resources, Microbialtec’s services reduce research downtime, improve reproducibility, and safeguard the integrity of bioprocesses.
