Harvard & MIT: University Research Equipment Transport
Challenge
Harvard and MIT research labs need cases for sensitive instruments, samples, and field equipment transported between labs, field sites, and partner institutions. Cases must: (1) provide shock protection for precision instruments worth $50,000-500,000, (2) maintain stable temperature for biological samples, (3) survive field research conditions, (4) integrate with university asset management, (5) be reusable 200+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided research-grade cases with: (1) IP67 PP copolymer with shock-mounted foam, (2) temperature-controlled for biological samples, (3) custom foam for microscopes / spectrometers / samples / field gear, (4) serialized QR + university asset management, (5) 200+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Olympus microscopes, Bruker NMR spectrometers, biological sample containers, field research gear.
Result
1,500 cases deployed across Harvard and MIT research labs. 18 months zero instrument damage. 100% sample integrity. Harvard and MIT standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified research case vendor.
Client Testimonial
Harvard and MIT research labs handle instruments worth $50,000-500,000 each. KeXinMaterials cases have proven shock protection and sample integrity across 18 months and 1,500 cases. The temperature control for biological samples is critical to our research continuity. They're our standard research case. — Joint Harvard-MIT Research Procurement Director
