When you need confidence in your cold chain… Trust Cryoport

Evaporative cooling uses evaporation from a pocket of fluid to achieve cooling inside a shipping container, often targeting the 2-8°C range. Although it might be useful for situations with less than stringent requirements—say on shipment of dairy products or food ingredients−it is not a good fit for pharmacetuical or health care applications where strict Chain of Conditions needs to be maintained at all times.

The short answer is: YES!

If a specimen or biological material can transition through the freezing point — as happens when frozen in refrigerators and/or packed in dry ice — then holding it at liquid nitrogen temperatures will not harm the specimen. In fact, it will most likely have a positive impact. Cryoport’s Global Cryogenic Shipping Solution is specifically developed to sustain temperatures below the glass point (-136°C). This means all metabolic processes and certain degradative reactions will cease at these lower temperatures, which will extend the viability and function of the specimen.
