Description

Dry ice is a critical item to the majority of the NIH research community.� The community depends on the NIHSC GDC to meet their respective dry ice requirements by having ice delivered to their locations the day after their requisition is submitted.� Dry ice has applicability in virtually every building in which NIH employees work.� Approximately 45,000 boxes of crushed pellets and 1,500 boxes of block slabs were ordered and delivered during fiscal years 2019 and 2020. Dry ice is utilized internally at NIH for a myriad of applications.� Those applications include the preservation and storage of tissue cell cultures, transporting various samples, cold temperature stabilization, research preservation purposes, as well as back-up in the event of a power outage affecting refrigerated and/or frozen items.� Failure to provide the community with reliable and/or dependable dry ice support could prove devastating and could also result in the loss of years of accumulated research, or a substantial monetary loss.� These tissue cell cultures are at risk of being destroyed if not adequately stored on dry ice.� Even a 24-hour delay in the delivery of dry ice could result in the loss of research, the value of which would be immeasurable.
