Biostorage Solutions
Comprehensive Biostorage Solutions for Advanced Therapies and Biologics
Secure, compliant, and scalable biostorage for critical biological materials
Biostorage is a critical part of the life sciences, ensuring the integrity and viability of biological materials throughout research and development, into clinical trials and through to commercialization. At Cryoport Systems, we provide biostorage that safeguards your samples under rigorously validated conditions, from controlled room temperature to cryogenic environments (and everything in between). Our approach combines advanced infrastructure, strict compliance standards, and continuous monitoring to deliver unmatched reliability for every sample entrusted to us.
With a global network of facilities and decades of expertise, Cryoport Systems offers flexible storage options tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for short-term preservation for clinical trials or long-term archiving for commercial products, our services go beyond simple storage and integrate risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and full traceability to protect your most valuable assets.
Keeping Your Science Safe
Protecting your stored samples from risk and uncertainty
Every sample you store represents months of work and the possibility of a life-changing therapy. When storage fails, the consequences are immediate and often irreversible. Projects stall. Regulatory issues arise. Clinical trials are impacted. Patient safety could be compromised. These risks are not simply hypothetical, they happen when systems are not designed to anticipate problems before they occur. Biostorage is the safeguard that prevents those outcomes. Choosing the right biostorage partner means choosing certainty in an environment when uncertainty is often the norm.
Cryoport Systems builds biostorage solutions that remove those uncertainties. Every process is designed to protect the integrity of your materials and to keep your programs on track. we combine proven infrastructure with monitoring that never stops and contingency plans that activate before risk becomes reality. We create a controlled environment where compliance is maintained, security is absolute, and your science is ready when you need it. Every part of our approach works together to deliver industry-leading assurance. From temperature control to global scalability, every detail is engineered to keep your progress uninterrupted.
Temperature-Controlled Storage
Precision environments for every sample
Temperature control is the single most important factor in preserving biological integrity. When conditions fluctuate, cells begin to degrade, proteins destabilize, timelines collapse, and scientific progress is put at risk. Our storage environments are validated to maintain exact temperatures for every material type and across every temperature range, from ambient to cryogenic. Each unit is equipped with calibrated sensors that report continuously so you know your samples are stable at all times. Redundant systems stand ready to take over if primary equipment fails, mitigating the risk of temperature excursions. This level of control protects your investment, ensuring your science moves forward without interruption. You can trust that every sample remains exactly as it should be.
Precision isn’t optional, it’s guaranteed.
Temperature control is the foundation of reliability. We support the following temperature ranges:
- Controlled Room Temperature (15° to 25°C)
- Refrigerated (2° to 8°C)
- Frozen (-20°C)
- Deep Frozen (-40° to -80°C)
- Cryogenic (<-150°C)
By maintaining strict conditions, we help you avoid costly delays and compliance issues. Every sample you store with us is monitored and safeguarded against risk. That means fewer worries for your team and more confidence in your results. When precision matters most, our systems deliver.
Compliance and Quality Assurance
Meeting global standards without compromise
Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. Auditors expect complete documentation, validated processes, and systems that meet international standards… at a minimum. Our facilities operate under GMP, GCP, GCLP, and GDP guidelines and maintain ISO certifications (including ISO 9001, ISO 20387, and ISO 21973) that demonstrate quality at every level. Our cold storage units are qualified in accordance with the FD X15-140 standard, and our software is validated in accordance with EU GMP Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for digital systems that provide full traceability. This transparency streamlines the audit process and eliminates uncertainty around your data. Our compliance standards are among the most stringent in the industry, protecting patients and preserving trust.
Compliance built into every step.
When you choose Cryoport Systems, you choose a partner that understands the weight of regulatory obligations. Our processes are intentionally designed to meet and exceed global standards, resulting in fewer surprises and smoother audits for your team. It also means confidence that your samples are managed with integrity, transforming compliance into a strength rather than a stress point.
Continuous Monitoring and Risk Management
Protection that never hits pause
Biostorage risk doesn’t wait for business hours. Power outages, equipment failures, and environmental changes can happen at any time. Our monitoring systems operate continuously, tracking temperature and performance around the clock. Alerts are immediate, and response protocols are in place to prevent loss before it occurs. Backup generators and redundant storage units provide additional layers of security. This proactive approach means your samples are never left vulnerable, as risk is managed before it becomes a problem, giving you peace of mind every day.
Always watching. Always ready.
Continuous monitoring and always-on safety protocols are our promise. We keep your stored assets safe through constant oversight and rapid response. That commitment reduces downtime and prevents costly setbacks, allowing your team to focus on advancing science with the assurance that comes from knowing protection is always in place. With Cryoport Systems, risk management is built into the foundation of your entire end-to-end supply chain and biostorage strategy.
Biobanking Expertise
Managing every sample with precision and care
Biobanking is more than storage. It is the disciplined management of biological materials across their entire lifecycle. Every sample you store represents critical data and irreplaceable value, and losing that integrity can set back months of work. Our biobanking services provide secure environments validated to GMP standards, supported by advanced IT systems that track every movement and condition. Reports are customized to your program, giving you complete visibility and confidence. Whether you are storing research specimens or regulated materials, our infrastructure and expertise keep your collections safe and accessible. This is biobanking designed to protect your science and accelerate your progress.
