The Future of Cold Storage is the New, Innovative Practice of Sharing

The Future of Sharing

The culture of cold storage ownership may be coming to an end.  CU Boulder has implemented a successful ULT freezer sharing program, UC San Francisco is looking to move many of its samples to an off-site biorepository, and many pharmaceutical and biotech companies have begun to employ both strategies, asking their scientists to share local freezer space for frequently-used samples and to use biorepositories for samples that need to be accessed less frequently.

CU Boulder's website details their ULT freezer sharing program, where researchers can rent freezer space for as little as 25 cents/month.  Christina Greever, CU Boulder's Green Labs Program Assistant and Outreach Coordinator, says of the program, "Though the Shared ULT Freezer Program takes some time and effort to administer, we [CU Green Labs] feel that the benefits to the campus far outweigh the costs. The program is tackling culture change by encouraging labs to share their most precious equipment".

Sharing freezer space not only helps reduce energy consumption, but it also reduces waste as well.  By not purchasing new equipment, raw materials are not used to create something new, all of the resources that would have been used to run the equipment are not expended, the valuable space that the equipment would have occupied remains open for some other use, and the lab maximizes its economic resources.  In addition, the equipment that is being shared is being used to its fullest potential.

Sharing cold storage space should not be an innovative best practice.  This Freezer Challenge, help make this a standard practice by opening up your (freezer, refrigerator) door to a colleague.

I can see how a business could really benefit from getting the right cold storage. Making sure that they can get some help from a professional could allow them to be more effective. It was interesting to learn about how they can reduce energy consumption, and reduce waste with new equipment.

It was interesting when the article explained that sharing freezer space is really important in cold storage. As far as I know, cold storage is important for freight management. It seems like it would be important to make sure that certain products stay frozen while they are being transported.
