Time is flying by! ⌛ We won the Biotech Innovation Award at INTERPHEX for our CellSeal® CryoCase rigid container exactly ONE month ago.

It was a proud moment to be recognized for our innovation and engineering work efforts. We’ve specifically designed the CellSeal CryoCase to mitigate common issues with cryobags in the advanced therapy space.

Challenges of cryobags that CryoCase addresses:

🆘 Fragility/Breakage
🆘 Unstackable
🆘 Awkward and time consuming to handle
🆘 Requires multiple operators
🆘 Difficult to inspect due to the translucent material composition
🆘 Contamination/particulates

Thank you to our loyal customers, the INTERPHEX staff & judges, and the BioLife team!

Can your choice of a particular storage container affect cell therapy outcomes? Yes, it can!

In a new interactive infographic with Cell & Gene Therapy Insights, we explore five different ways that container packaging can affect your product quality, regulatory reviews, and commercial readiness.💡

You will discover how packaging:
💥 Influences post-thaw cell viability and the reliability of QC data

💥 Maintains a closed process throughout fill/finish and QC sampling

💥 Enables manufacturability, scalability, and long-term commercial supply
