When Biovault was established in 2002, our founders had a mission: to provide leading organisations with the most trusted, experienced and fully-accredited human tissue processing and storage worldwide. Since then we have actively sought the most exacting accreditations in the UK and internationally to ensure we operate and the very highest standards. Biovault has been described as the ‘gold standard’ in tissue storage and we pride ourselves on providing safe hands to pioneers, partners and patients.
Human Tissue Authority (HTA)
Under the terms of the HTA, Biovault Technical is authorised to process and store all transplantable material for human application. The HTA aims to support public confidence by licensing the organisations that store and use human tissue and we fully support this goal. Biovault is proud never to have had any conditions placed on its licence. [Licence no: 11063, last routine inspection 2018]
