Superior Condition Monitoring Solutions for the Animal Health Industry
Cryoport Systems has been utilizing our near real-time condition monitoring solution that offers precise location information on shipments for over a decade. With such vast experience, we’ve used our industry knowledge and superior technology to create solutions that encompass entire monitoring capabilities to provide full chain-of-custody and chain-of-condition data for our shipments. This expertise has helped animal health breeders and professionals securely store and transport animal material for their current and future use.
Check out these four solutions that equip Cryoport Systems to offer our animal health clients a superior supply chain monitoring solution globally unmatched by our competitors.

Shipper Manufacturing and Selection
In 2020, Cryoport acquired MVE Biological Solutions. MVE is a leading global provider of cryogenic equipment to the life sciences and had manufactured the core of Cryoport’s Cryoport Express® Shippers for many years prior to the acquisition. Bringing MVE into the Cryoport family not only expanded our network to four global sister companies under Cryoport, Inc., but it vertically integrated our operations, which provides us with the ability to manufacture each cryogenic shipper in our arsenal. With a personalized fleet of shippers all owned by us, Cryoport Systems can offer a customized shipper selection and qualification process that our competitors can’t match.
Other companies work within a one-size-fits-all model where the selection of a shipper’s size and temperature range isn’t unique to the material that will be stored inside. Our ability to manufacture the shippers in our fleet adds unparalleled value to our overall condition monitoring solution and allows us to cultivate products and technologies that fit the specific needs of our animal health clients’ temperature-controlled materials.

Interior and Exterior Monitoring
Knowing the location of your materials throughout transit is necessary insight into your supply chain that should be tracked. However, instilling certainty into each step in your supply chain requires a lot more than knowing a shipment’s physical whereabouts. Our set of intelligent logistics solutions goes beyond location tracking to give you full peace of mind. Comprised of the Cryoportal® 2 Logistics Management Platform, Smartpak II® Condition Monitoring System, and Live View® Display, Cryoport Systems monitors both the interior and exterior conditions of your shipment throughout its entire journey.
This intelligent logistics solution tracks each shipment for:
- Location
- Shock
- Temperature
- Light
- Orientation
- Humidity
- Pressure
Additionally, each shipment receives 24/7/365 customer support from our team, who have the ability to step in and intercede if a risk does arise that may threaten the integrity of your material shipment. Our extensive knowledge of international shipment regulations means that we prepare our animal health clients with the needed shipping documentation and can help facilitate the customs clearance process and reduce the risk of delays. Our team is also ready to communicate with your designated freight carrier at any point necessary, managing escalations as they arise. Due to the careful attention and monitoring of the materials with the Cryoport Solution, our animal health clients have a comprehensive record to confirm that their animal materials were preserved in their ideal state throughout the logistics process.

Requalification Processes
Whether it’s animal reproductive material or vaccines to support herd well-being, our animal health clients know that their materials won’t be at risk of contamination when shipped in any of our shippers. We own our distinct fleets of shippers, and we have developed rigorous cleaning protocols unmatched by our competitors. Cryoport Systems is the only supply chain management provider to requalify every shipper after each use to ensure physical sustainability, cleanliness, LN2 capacity, and a minimum required hold time threshold.
Our Veri-Clean® validated cleaning and disinfection process is the first and only solution of its kind. Created to comply with ISO 21973, the standard that ensures life-saving therapies are always transported consistently, Veri-Clean® virtually eliminates the risk of cross-contamination by decontaminating all Cryoport Express® shippers and stainless-steel accessories by 99.9999%. If our equipment doesn’t meet the requalification specifications in our internal criteria, it’s removed from our fleet after a final quality assurance (QA) evaluation. With Veri-Clean® and our shipper requalification processes, our animal health clients have full trust that the integrity of their shipments is handled compliantly from start to finish.
Cryoport Systems goes well beyond location tracking to confidently maintain your animal health materials’ integrity throughout transit. Contact us for more information on how our robust platform of solutions can supply certainty to your supply chain.
