BioLife Solutions Introduces the CellSeal CryoCase™ at International Society for Cell & Gene Therapies (ISCT) Conference in Vancouver BioLife Solutions, Inc. announced the introduction of the CryoCase, an addition to its CellSeal product line. Expected to be released to CGT developers in August, the CryoCase is available for demonstration at this week's ISCT event in Vancouver, Canada. Early product evaluators stated that the CryoCase's volume versatility, rigid and protective structure, and fill and retrieval port designs, allows for easy integration with their current systems generating improved throughput and streamlined procedures. The CryoCase is the first ever cryo-compatible rigid container designed for closed-system fill and retrieval for larger volumes of fluid (<75mL). The container is transparent, enabling improved end user compliance with USP 790, USP 1790, and other international visible inspection methods, and manufactured under strict environmental and processing controls designed to limit common sources of particulates in single-use disposable manufacturing. Early user testing has shown comparable cell viability and recovery for multiple cell types compared to storage in existing bags and drop testing in a frozen state demonstrates high resistance to leaks or fractures. Initial testing indicates that the CryoCase may materially reduce or eliminate particulates inherent in cryopreservation bags. CryoCase samples are now available for testing.

Deploys SciSafe's Ultra Low Controlled Temperature Trailers to Extend Domestic Cold Chain Services BioLife Solutions, Inc. announced that its SciSafe(R) biostorage services platform will now offer a fleet of refrigerated and ultra-low temperature ("ULT") truck trailers to manage local cold chain movements for customers' biologic materials. This fleet provides an ideal transportation solution for any biologic product movement requiring ULT storage between -20degC and - 196degC without the added need for dry ice as it moves from pharmaceutical manufacturer to contract development and manufacturing company ("CDMO") sites and can be deployed worldwide. Running on generator power with two cooling systems, the fleet can also carry up to ten plugged in, powered, and running upright ULT freezers at a time, expanding supported temperatures to as low as -86degC with equipment to track location and trailer temperatures, in real time. The controlled temperature trailers can also transport liquid nitrogen storage freezers containing biologic materials stored at -150degC and colder. From day-to-day sample management to deploying clinical trial medicines that need ULT freezers to clinical sites, life sciences organizations, and particularly large pharmaceutical companies, face significant challenges when moving high value assets that have stringent storage temperature requirements. This new domestic transport service enables operational flexibility and reduced risk through the same provider SciSafe customers already trust with their sample management. Announcement • May 10
