Cryogenics explained
Unlike traditional cold chain management, cryogenics focusses on the production and behaviour of materials at extremely low temperatures, ranging from -150°C to -273°C.
Cryogenic services play a vital role in pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, particularly with cell and gene therapies (CGTs). Cryogenic transportation ensures the safe storage and transport of temperature-sensitive materials like cells and tissues, preserving their viability.
In IVF, cryogenics allows the freezing of embryos, and for CGTs, cryogenic storage maintains cell function for therapies treating genetic disorders.
Global monitoring
Our dedicated team maintain the chain of identity throughout transit, keeping you fully updated on each stage of the supply chain and ensuring your critical shipment is delivered as planned.
Dedicated support
We ensure that you will be able to speak to one of our cell and gene therapy logistics experts about your sensitive shipment when required.
Project management
Each shipment is treated uniquely and is handled by a project management team to implement the optimal supply chain solution.
Regulatory compliance
Our solutions comply to GDP and IATA requirements, and we can support our clients with navigating regulatory requirements as well as completion of critical shipping paperwork.
Advanced cryogenic solutions and services
Our cryogenic services include cutting-edge options for cryogenic transportation, such as liquid nitrogen dry vapour shippers (LN2 dewars).
These shippers store materials at -196°C and can preserve tissues and cell cultures for up to 15 days. Sensors monitor package conditions, temperature and GPS data.
The Biocair team, composed of logistics experts with scientific backgrounds, ensures that our solutions meet the specific needs of each client. As trusted cryogenics carriers, we offer tailored, comprehensive services for life-saving therapies and critical biological materials.
Global network and charging stations for cryogenic transportation
Biocair operates a global network with strategically positioned cryogenic charging stations.
These stations allow us to recharge LN2 containers during cryogenic transportation, ensuring optimal cryogenic conditions throughout the journey.
With charging stations located worldwide, our cryogenic services maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive shipments on both local and international levels, offering clients peace of mind.
Expert cryogenic transportation support
With a global network and industry experts, Biocair handles complex pharmaceutical, biotech and life science consignments.
As a leading provider of cryogenic transportation, we ensure compliance with GDP/GMP standards. Using advanced technologies such as temperature monitoring, GPS tracking and the evo® DV10 Smart Shipper, we preserve ultra-low temperatures crucial for the integrity of cell and gene therapies.
Our cryogenic services are tailored to your specific needs, offering real-time updates and redundancy measures to ensure sample integrity and deliveries are completed promptly. We also facilitate customs clearance, utilising our pre-approval process, allowing us to minimise customs delays.
