Optimised Cryogenic Solutions for Blood & Cell Banking

 

In the world of blood and cell banking, the preservation and transport of biological materials are not just important—they are critical. Whether it’s the long-term storage of cord blood for stem cell therapies, the secure transport of bone marrow for transplant purposes, or the preservation of blood products for emergency medical use, maintaining the integrity of these specimens is of paramount importance. Cryolab is proud to provide industry-leading cryogenic storage and transport solutions designed specifically for blood and cell banks: the CryoNest® Series of LN₂ storage tanks and the CryoStork® Series of dry shippers.

Cryolab’s cryogenic solutions are trusted by professionals around the world, from medical practitioners storing stem cells to researchers transporting blood products. Our products are engineered to ensure that critical biological materials remain viable and intact under the most demanding conditions, both during storage and transit.

CryoNest® Series: Essential for Long-Term Storage in Blood and Cell Banking

The CryoNest® Series is engineered to meet the needs of blood and cell banks by offering reliable, high-capacity cryogenic storage solutions. Whether it’s for storing stem cells, cord blood, or bone marrow, Cryolab’s LN₂ storage tanks provide the ideal environment for long-term preservation.

For blood and cell banks, the ability to store specimens safely at temperatures as low as -196°C is essential to maintain the quality of critical biological materials over time. Cryolab’s CryoNest® Series offers tanks in various sizes, including the CryoNest XL, XXL, and XXXL models, which provide storage capacities ranging from 95L to 175L. These tanks are designed to store large volumes of biological samples efficiently, while occupying minimal space in the laboratory or facility.

CryoNest® tanks are equipped with a variety of features to enhance the safety and ease of use. Internal racks, labelled canisters, and goblets help with sample organisation and retrieval, which is especially important in blood and cell banking environments where managing large numbers of samples is the norm. The tanks also feature advanced insulation technology, reducing LN₂ evaporation and optimising the storage of valuable samples over long periods. This not only minimises the need for frequent nitrogen refills but also ensures that blood, stem cells, and other cell types are preserved in optimal conditions, whether for short-term or long-term storage.

Additionally, CryoNest® tanks are designed with built-in temperature monitoring systems and pressure relief mechanisms to ensure the safety and security of stored materials. The tanks are built from durable materials such as aluminium or stainless steel, which ensures a long lifespan and resistance to corrosion—even in environments with frequent LN₂ exposure.

For blood and cell banks, these CryoNest® storage solutions guarantee that critical biological materials remain safe and viable for future use, whether it's for stem cell therapies, bone marrow transplants, or long-term blood storage.

CryoStork® Series: Ensuring Safe, Compliant Transport for Blood and Cell Samples

Once biological specimens are safely stored, the next step is ensuring their secure transport, particularly when they need to be moved between clinics, laboratories, or even across international borders. For blood and cell banks, where even small fluctuations in temperature can lead to irreparable damage to precious samples, Cryolab’s CryoStork® Series provides an ideal solution.

The CryoStork® Series consists of five models—V2, V3, V4, V6, and V10—designed for safe and compliant cryogenic transport. These dry shippers are equipped with vapour-phase LN₂ technology, ensuring that biological materials remain at ultra-low temperatures during transit, with no risk of spillage or contamination. With capacities ranging from 2 litres to 10 litres, CryoStork® units are suitable for transporting everything from single samples to larger batches of blood, bone marrow, stem cells, and other cell types.

Maintaining consistent cryogenic temperatures during transport is vital, especially in blood and cell banking where the cells’ viability is directly tied to the preservation of their environment. CryoStork® units deliver exceptional hold times, which ensures that blood and cell specimens remain below -150°C throughout the journey, whether being shipped locally or internationally.

The dry shippers are available with optional data loggers that track internal temperatures in real-time, offering added peace of mind. This monitoring system is especially important for blood banks, as it provides a full record of the transport conditions and allows for compliance with industry regulations.

CryoStork® dry shippers are also designed for ease of use and durability. With UKCA and CE certifications, CryoStork® units meet the highest standards for cryogenic shipping. Each unit is supplied with round canisters for easy sample placement, and an optional heavy-duty aluminium-framed trolley case with foam cushioning is available to ensure the safety of your valuable biological materials during transport.

For blood and cell banks, CryoStork® provides the most reliable, efficient, and compliant solution for transporting cryopreserved samples—whether moving stem cells for therapy, blood products for emergency transfusion, or research samples between laboratories.
