Built for Speed: How Cryoport Systems Delivers Without Compromise
In the life sciences, time isn’t just money, it impacts patient outcomes, regulatory compliance, and even trial integrity. When a temperature-sensitive shipment is delayed due to inventory shipper shortages or logistical bottlenecks, the impact can cascade across an entire program.
Unfortunately, these scenarios aren’t theoretical. We hear every day about how different therapeutic developers are struggling to access temperature-controlled shipping systems from various providers, leaving clients scrambling for alternatives. When you’re working with irreplaceable biologic materials, this kind of disruption quickly moves from inconvenient to unacceptable.
At Cryoport Systems, we believe that life science logistics should never hinge on hope. That’s why we’ve spent the past decade building a global infrastructure designed specifically to eliminate these risks. Our integrated platform, from purpose-built facilities to proprietary packaging to consulting services and wholly owned shipping fleets, is engineered to deliver temperature-controlled systems with unmatched speed and availability, no matter where in the world they’re needed.
Global Availability Without the Wait
In temperature-controlled logistics, availability is everything. If the shipping system isn’t ready when the material is, programs stall. Cryoport Systems’ global inventory is backed by the industry’s largest, wholly owned fleet of temperature-controlled shipping systems, giving our clients priority access, even when market demand spikes unexpectedly.
Our international network of facilities is strategically located near major biopharma hubs and transportation corridors, including North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Our global footprint is comprised of purpose-built global logistics and supply chain centers equipped to stage, qualify, and dispatch shipping systems within tight turnaround windows. Additionally, select facilities are integrated with our proprietary Cryoshuttle® fleet to support secure, temperature-controlled first and last mile (or kilometer!) delivery.
24-Hour Turnaround, Even After Hours
Time is critical in every phase of development. Whether you’re initiating a time-sensitive patient collection or responding to an unplanned clinical site need, you shouldn’t have to wait for your logistics partner to catch up.
Cryoport Systems’ facilities are staffed by trained specialists who understand the urgency behind every shipment. Our operational model allows for global dispatch of temperature-controlled shipping systems within 24 hours of order receipt, with after-hours, weekend, and holiday deployment available upon request.
Our network has been designed to support just-in-time delivery models that reduce onsite storage risk and support Chain of Compliance® continuity. Cryoport Systems facilities maintain local inventory of key shipping systems, helping to minimize transit times and reduce potential delays.
Built-In Compliance and Global Coordination
Moving temperature-sensitive materials across borders requires not just the equipment to do so, but also the regulatory precision, trade documentation, and expertise that protect your materials from end to end.
Cryoport Systems integrates logistics, regulatory, and packaging expertise to ensure every shipment meets country-specific requirements and is supported with the right documentation. Our shipping systems are designed and qualified to meet IATA, ISO, and other relevant industry standards, while our global operations teams coordinate every movement from initial pickup to customs clearance and final delivery.
Through our consulting and advisory services, we also offer detailed shipping risk assessments and shipping lane qualifications in support of your regulatory filings, ensuring you have anticipated challenges and created proactive solutions before potential problems arise.
Custom-Engineered for the Life Sciences
Cryoport Systems doesn’t retrofit shipping solutions built for other industries. We design and qualify every component of our systems around the unique needs of the life sciences. Our temperature-controlled shipping systems are purpose-built to protect irreplaceable biologic materials, from cell and gene therapies in early clinical stages to commercial-stage therapies moving across borders.
Each system is rigorously validated and supported by comprehensive performance data. Our engineering-first approach ensures consistency and availability across our global network, so a shipper deployed in Tokyo performs identically to one launched from Houston. For clients, that translates to predictable performance and total peace of mind.
Streamlined Setup with Expert Qualification Services
Even the most advanced shipping system is only as effective as the supply chain it operates within. That’s why Cryoport Systems offers integrated consulting and advisory services to support the full lifecycle of your logistics planning, from shipping system and packaging performance qualification to deployment and optimization.
Our packaging qualification services help ensure every shipper is matched precisely to your material and use case. We conduct detailed lane validations to assess real-world conditions along specific routes, verify performance under stress conditions, and recommend the right approaches to mitigate risks.
Whether you’re preparing for a global Phase I trial, launching a commercial product across multiple regions, or simply shifting from one vendor or shipping system to another and looking for support with qualification, our experts help you streamline setup while reducing variability and ensuring compliance from day one.
While some logistics providers struggle with inventory and react to disruptions, Cryoport Systems stays ahead by operating as a unified platform. Our facilities are connected by shared systems, trained personnel, and standardized procedures across our global network. Our clients benefit from a single point of accountability from strategy to execution.
Whether you’re validating a shipping lane, mitigating supply chain risk, or preparing to launch a complex global trial, we’re ready to meet the moment. And we do it without compromise.
