Neftaly: Cold Storage Infrastructure for Gene Therapy Vectors
Gene therapy vectors—whether viral or non-viral—are among the most sensitive and high-value biologics in modern medicine. Maintaining their stability requires ultra-precise cold storage infrastructure capable of supporting stringent temperature controls, uninterrupted power supply, and compliant handling practices.
At Neftaly, we help hospitals and clinical research centers design, implement, and manage specialized cold storage systems tailored for gene therapy. Our solutions protect the integrity of therapy vectors from receipt to administration—ensuring safety, compliance, and operational readiness at every step.
Why Cold Storage Matters in Gene Therapy
Gene therapy vectors must be stored under specific cold chain conditions—typically:
- -20°C for short-term use
- -80°C or lower for long-term preservation
- Some products may require cryogenic storage below -150°C
Improper storage conditions can lead to vector degradation, loss of potency, contamination, or complete therapy failure. A robust cold storage infrastructure is not optional—it’s essential.
