Life Sciences Industry to Benefit from First-and-Only Independent, OffSite cGMPC Compliant Biostorage Facility in Southern California

LOS ANGELES, CA, October 14th, 2011 — Pacific BioStorage announced today the upcoming fall opening of its newest world-class biorepository, this one located in the heart of Los Angeles. The new facility will cover the Southern California region, and meet the local needs of the Life Sciences industry in Los Angeles — the second largest metropolitan area in the country.

A Division of Pacific Bio-Material Management, Inc. (PBMMI), Pacific BioStorage also owns and operates repositories in Fresno, CA, and New York, NY. Now with its new Los Angeles facility, the company will be better suited to serve Southern California with the additional benefit of an expanded bi-coastal and regional presence. “We are very excited to open our Los Angeles biorepository,” said Michael Lebbin, PBMMI’s CEO. “It’s location is ideal — just five minutes away from LAX International Airport, and a stone’s throw away from Interstate Freeways 405, 105 and 5, as well as from other major thoroughfares connecting the state and the country.”

The new facility will adhere to the same rigorous safety and quality standards as the other PBMMI biorepositories. “It will offer cGMP compliant storage at any temperature, and 21CFR Part 11 compliant monitoring,” added Mr. Lebbin. “Clients will have anytime acess to their materials; and rely on our many other services such as material management, routine equipment maintenance, freezer validation, inventory control and monitoring.”

Another advantage to having a repository in Los Angeles has to do with its proximity to the company’s own corporate and operational headquarters. PBMMI is vertically integrated, so local clients will benefit from a whole range of value-added services, including: laboratory and freezer transport, same-day pick up and delivery, emergency services, backup equipment, and equipment servicing.

“Southern California is a major Life Sciences hub, and we’ve been serving this industry successfully for over a decade,” Mr. Lebbin pointed out. “Now with our new L.A. biorepository added to the mix, we’ll be in an even better position to meet our customers' most critical biomaterial storage and transportation requirements.”
